I got the Check Engine light. My mechanic scanned it and found a problem with oxygen sensor, bank 1 sensor 1.
He said that this part cost $297, but that it should not have failed after only 30,000 miles.
Opinions?

do you use aftermarket airfilters? some says K&N will mess up your O2 sensors
Aren't emissions parts covered under a longer warrenty that the 3 year =
36000 mi?
Isn't emissions warranty longer than that? Check with your dealer and even call the 800 Toyota number about this.
IMO Denso sensors in these cars are junk. They cost car companies and owners alike money and catalytic converters. I fixed a P0420 changing over to Bosch planar type, and those Densos weren't even showing codes. Go with Bosch Planar, best in class.
(BTW, some Toys use funny sensors you can only get over the dealer counter. It helps to call the 1-800 Toyota number and see if you can get it fixed for free.)
Oxygen sensors on PZEV rated cars should be good for 10 years or
150,000 miles?

There's varying opinions about what effects O2 sensors. Some say leaded fuel or oil-burning. The air-filter is a bit of a stretch tho. My '96 is still not throwing up codes at 185,000ks.

Sulfur in gasoline slowly degrades the performance of the sensor. European gas has very little sulfur, but US gas not so little. But I consider oxygen sensors, like spark plugs, a maintenance item every
100,000 miles. (150,000 for PZEV).MotorsForum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
