So I had code p0135 on my car

Pictures of the code on my scanner

so i ordered oxygen sensor on amazon and had friend who was coming in to town bring it in, saved on transport
It was a direct fit and replacement, side by side picture later on.
Pictured below is a collection of tools i thought i would need to execute the diy,
I also had to buy a 22mm spanner from the game also picture

The new oxygen sensor gotten for 47 dolls.

Following. ...

Remove the negative battery terminal.
I tried to access the sensor form under the car but the space was too small a PIDA
So i tried it from the top, had to remove that air filter box to have more access

following. more pictures please. where is the cable of the hand held scanner plugged into is it in the engine bay or is it somewhere under the dashboard?

the box pictured in the 1st picture and removed in the second

Locate the point where the sensor is connected to the wire harness, and carefully disconnect the oxygen sensor.

Then spray penetrating oil for easy removal of the sensor, allow to soak in for maybe 5min

Unscrew the oxygen sensor using 22mm spanner, don't use the star end of the spanner

Removed oxygen sensor,
new and old side by side,
used my multimeter to confirm that the fault was in the sensor wire, and not on the car wire harness point.

old an new

anti-sieze for easy removal in the future

new sensor installed and connected

Everything back in place, viola

If you observe my valve cover is painted black, another DIY i did by myself not documented though.

Thank you all, comments observations and questions are welcome

Your oxygen sensor 1 bank 1 can easily be accessed on this 1Mz engine if u are able to Climb on a Pit used for Alignment. The sensor is the one at the back of the Engine when standing in front of the vehicle/ Engine.

yes I know, but for a diy most times u do it in your comfort zone so from top is a better option

Got it at ebeano supermarket, the one at Chevron in lagos. you should be able to get it in an electrical shop too.
On how to use it the manual and youtube videos should guide you.

I got it from amazon early last year, u can see it in naija from 50k upwards, got it with over 10k difference lower

If you wish you can add this o2 sensor socket to your tool box.

Works a treat.

Thanks boss, could not find it in any of the parts store I went to, would add it to my wish list for later. But the spanner was very effective

Good job. Please did the check engine light come up after fixing?
