I have been searching the forums, and it looks like some of you have gone through this. My 04 4 Runner SE, has about 90K, I am in California, I realize I am over the 80 K emissions warranty. My code is Catalyst code bank1, I think that is driver side.
By reading trough the posts, it could be either O2 sensor or Catalytic converter. Since the later costs up to $1800 which is crazy,most likely it will be the O2 sensor, more commom to my understanding. I am willing to replace the O2 sensor first.
My question is which O2 sensor should I replace on Bank1, the one after the Catalytic converter or before? Is it easy to replace, does anyone have instructions? Also a good reputable to purchase O2 sensor for California would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help,
