Normally, 2nd O2 sensor is located after Cat, a bit difficult to DIY.
Unless u have jack to raise up ur vehicle.

The scan tool might just say O2 fault but I don't think they will tell which one, so to change is trial and error, means one by one

Straight change both la. Very easy to diy. Probably a size 17 or 21 wrench and WD40. Settle.

Both changed all in should be RM180 for two?

does o2 sensor which has been in service for 180k km causes high fc?
engine light does not lit up.
my car has sudden increase in fc.last time can get 14km/l.
now only 12km/l despite how hard i try.

was thinking to clean the cat con but still dont have time to do so.
also think to pour in the techron additive.
i have check the plug and clean the air filtet.

could it just need a tune up?

If both really only RM180.00, earlier already change them. Checked with Toyota Spare Parts shop. Quoted around RM300.00 per sensor. Vios got 2 oxygen sensors. Thats why seeking for best solution to me here which as follows:-

1) Way to determine which faulty sensor
2) Any recommended reliable mechanic
3) DIY guide to change

RM180 maybe is Wira ones?

Less than RM200 is usually campro or earlier proton models.

Inspira ones are RM1.3k

Don't ask Toyota la. Go find a generic spare parts shop. If I can find it cheaper will you come to my house and let me charge you to replace it?

Anyway, O2 sensors for smaller cars isn't as scary as the bigger cars. Speaking of which, my Nissan Sylphy O2 sensor costs RM200 at the spare parts shop near my house. I highly doubt the Vios will be more expensive.

1. If you want to check, you need a voltmeter and know how to read it.
2. This is a simple O2 sensor, most if not all mechs can do it.
3. Find a spanner that'll hold the new sensor snugly, WD40 the current sensor - let it soak in, spanner remove it (bit by bit, don't be too aggressive). Unplug it and replace with new sensor and installation is reverse of everything.

Very easy laaa... The biggest problem is finding a cheap sensor only.

I don't have an oscilloscope la. Manual way of checking O2 sensor needs a computer. Just note the voltage of the O2 sensor (with engine on) and mark on Excel then plot a line graph. It should look like a smooth curve and evenly spaced out. If any irregular shape is plotted then it's likely spoilt.

As for installation fee, I was kidding la. Just buy lunch

Conclusion

When engine light on, google around to check what caused it. One of it, is about ignition coil. Did manual check on those 4 ignition coil. That moment, all still functioning. Focus on other area that may lead the engine light on. Two foremen checked on why engine light is on.

Both of them also said most probably is the oxygen sensor that faulty. Both also advise must double confirm with those workshop with diagnose meter. Continue drive my car for almost three weeks without knowing the real cause. Last friday evening, the car feel jerk when on D or R, during N no jerk at all. During acceraleration, can feel jerk also.

Early morning yesterday do some manual check on those ignition coils again. Confirmed one of them spoilt.

To be continued later (Rush for works)


[FONT="Arial Na[FONT="Arial Narrow"]rrow"]Continuation[/FONT]

After purchase new original ignition coil costs me RM200.00. Replaced it myself in office carpark. After installed, disconnect the battery (-) terminal for around 5 minutes.

After that start my car to check the jerk & engine light whether still on.

Bingo!!!!!!!!

Both problem rectified

P/S - Above information can be used for those who are facing same scenario with me

Happy motoring[/FONT]
