Could be the sensor, harness, connection at sensor or PCM.......rarely the PCM....

Since bank two, it will be in the block on the backside...look between tranny and engine....

Has a hex head on it, so a flex head or crow'* foot is the best,,,just unscrews and screws in....there is a specific torque for it, but not sure what it is......

I have seen more harness/connection problems, than the sensor itself......

Only a scan tool can tell you if it is working, by tapping the engine in that area and looking for a change in timing....

After a week that the service light was ON, now it turn OFF .
I don't erase the code or replace the sensor . Maybe the problem solved ?
I order the sensor ... cancel it ?
