AtlantaMc Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hey guys! Where might the P0155 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1) location be on a 97 Deville?? Also, I cleared the code yesterday, and planed to have the emission inspection done today. Will this effect the outcome? Or, should I wait untill I've replaced it. Thanks in advance!

JimD Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Bank 2 is the side that includes cylinder #2 and on your car that is the forward bank. There is only one sensor designated for 2 bank and it is located in the exhaust manifold very close to the point where all 4 cylinders are plumbed into one piece of pipe. And by clearing the codes, you have reset all the OBD "readiness" flags to red. I suggest you drive the car over the weekend (several hundred miles) before you try to pass the emissions test. If the readiness flags are not green, you will fail the tesst even without an emissions related code. One more reason to get the emissions test done early in the month of your birthday!

Cadillac Jim Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 The P0155 code should set the MIL, so if the light stays out the HO2S is working properly. If you reset the codes, you will need to take the car through a driving cycle -- start, warm up, drive over 45 mph for awhile -- before the PCM will produce a signal saying its codes are valid. If you've done that and the MIL doesn't come on, then this code won't prevent you from passing. Bank 2 is the one against the firewall in FWD Northstars. The first oxygen sensor is the one on the manifold after the four piples come together; this is the hardest one to get to but it can be changed from underneath the car. There are two on the cat, one just before and one just after, and these aren't it. The one you are looking for is above the Y where the two banks combine for the cat mounting flange. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Ranger Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 JimD is correct. Bank 1 is on the rear (firewall) side. Bank 2 is on the front (radiator) side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Jim Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 JimD is correct. Bank 1 is on the rear (firewall) side. Bank 2 is on the front (radiator) side. Ranger is correct.

AtlantaMc Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hey guys! Found the sensor and removed it. Any ideas where the connection for the cable is? I was going to remove it before buying the new one to compare; and of coarse, without the new one, I have no idea how long or where to begin looking for the connector.

Mark You can buy an O2 sensor and an O2 sensor socket and replace that O2 sensor easily. The connector is right there near transaxle, its connector is secured to a bracket.
