Bank 1 Sensor 1 is upsteam of the catalyst. Your car has 2 sensors, one upstream of the catalyst and one downstream as you have observed and Jeff pointed out and as shwon below.

OBD scanner shows P0130 (O2 sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1) and P0135 (O2 heated circuit for sensor Bank1 Sensor 1). Autozone says 1997 318is has 4 sensors. 3 before catalytic converter, and one behind. Crawling under the car, I only see 2. One before and one after catalytic converter.



Questions:



  1. How many O2 sensors/monitors does '97 318is really have?
  2. Where is Bank 1 Sensor 1?

Thanks in advance.



To my knowledge, it should have 2, one before and one after the CAT.

A follow-up question. I ended up buying two universal O2 sensors (#USOS-4000) to replace the existing ones at this place; see the last one on the list:

The old sensors have 4 wires, 2 whites, 1 black, 1 grey. New sensors have the same number of wires and colors. I made wire-by-wire connection, but I still get engine faults: P0130 & P0136. Any idea?

Thanks, Liem
