02 sensor
 
I just replaced my 02 sensor and still getting the code that its bad, and yes it a Bosch, thats all they had at autozone, but with the lifetime guarantee, I figured I can just replace it more often

What exactly is the code, and have you tried resetting it?

Bonnevillan 02-24-2008 04:18 PM

you had it cleared? the light will not go away on its own

code number 13, and I have cleared it twice but it always comes back

petraman 02-24-2008 07:49 PM

It might be defective... Things happen, especially since it's a Bosch... I'd try getting a replacement.

Look, we have established that Bosch is bad. You might be getting this code simply because of it being a bosch, thats most definitely far fetched, but it appears that Bosch's approach to any type of quality is as well, far fetched.

Get a Delco sensor, that should take care of your problem.

But have you unhooked the negative battery cable overnight?

to reset it I just pull the ecm fuse for about a minute, never unhooked the battery over nite, I'm going to take this one back and try 1 more replacement band if it's bad I'll have them order me a denso or acdelco

From our experience, you'll be going back and back and back again until you lose the Bosch.

In the early days here, we weren't sure. I had a Bosch last 45 days. But even new, it never fully restored my lost fuel mileage. With the AC Delco, I gained it all back (3-4mpg more than the Bosch restored for me when new).

Considering our experiences and advice, and factoring in the price of fuel, I suggest you ditch it now. Don't try another Bosch.

thanks, I'll do that, Autozone is saying it's a bad CAT thats causing the code to show a bad 02 sensor
