Poobah Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I've gotten the P013 (right oxygen sensor not ready) code a couple of times lately. Can anybody give me a rough idea of what the part costs and how big a project it is to replace it. Thanks in advance. Happiness is owning a Cadillac with no codes.

jlinde Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi, I just replaced the rear sensor because I got 'service engine soon' and some other code showing differences between left and right banks - used the voltage read possibility for rear sensor and it stayed fixed all the time making the pcm to add extra gas. I tried to lower the rear of engine to reach the sensor. Was impossible so I made a tool from an open wrench and welded an extension on it so it became reachable from above. The sensor was $58 - my son bought it in New York. /Jan Linderholm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhall Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Poobah, I can confirm the part is about $60. It is a real bear to remove. The coolant tubes and the firewall are in the way. If you can get jlinde to post a pic of the tool he made it might help you keep your sanity. Heres a pic of the sensor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weephee Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Here in Canada, you can buy a special oxygen sensor socket at Canadian Tire for $22. I just bought it and removed the sensor at the back of the engine in about 5 minutes. If they sell them here, I'm sure you can buy them at some automotive type store in the states. All it is is deep socket with a split up the side for the wire to slide into. Quite easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95SLS Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I get a PO 0139 code and that reads out to slow sensor right bank sensor 2. i changed what I think was that sensor 2 times with one from Auto zone, 1st one lasted like 6 months second one 6 days. (Thats where I am now) Now I get the same code back. Somewhere on the list maybe archives I read use only GM sensor. i think they are right, so does Autozone, the said take it out buy a real one and we give your money back. Mine for a 96 NS was like 100 bucks and I know GM part is more. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
