yes this is a heated oxgen sensor code. an oxygen sensor monitors the rate of burnt carbon going outside from the exhaust and also monitor the rate of chemical reaction have been take place by the catalytic converter cause the catalyst also reduce the rate at which unwanted gas is been burn out from the vehicle and the oxygen sensor located at the exhaust stream [bank 2 sensor 2] is faulty or you have an exhaust leakage or a deteriorated catalyst converter but but if your exhaust has no leakage and no deteriorated[expired,spoiled ] catalytic converter all you need to do is to REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR AT THE THE BANK 2 OF THE ENGINE WHICH IS THE SECOND SENSOR BELOW THE FIRST ONE SIR AFTER CHANGING THAT YOUR CAR WILL BE PERFECTLY FINE SIR

Pls help a brother
My 2005 Corolla was burgled and the brain box stolen. I got someone to fix a toks brainbox for me. He did some programming for about 30mins and the car came alive.

However I noticed that my car jerks both on motion and when idle. This has never happened to my car. I have always had a smooth ride. What could be the issue? At a point, the car lost its velocity while accelerating at almost 80km/hr. It just dropped and didn't respond to the accelerator pedal though it never went off.

Question on Toyota Camry 2004 i4

The car was loaded withan Original Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Oil in December 2018.

Since then, the car has gone on long journey only once.

Now, in this September 2019, the engine oil has not been changed. Though the manual recommended 5,000 miles or 6 month, but the mileage reads 3,250 only as it is only used from home to office/church/market daily.

1. please, when do you advice the engine oil should be replaced.?

The oil IS NOT smelling like 'burnt offering' and the level is not short.

2. Would you advise that the car should travel on a long journey once more before the oil change?


Thanks in advance for answering these questions to the best of your knowledge sir.
