Need Help: O2 Sensor Identification

Joe Pocolardee

I have an 04 4runner 4.0L Engine model 1GR-FE. I had an ODB scan done and it said bank 2 sensor 1 is dead. Which sensor is this? From what I can find in the forums this sensor does not exist on this engine. Did I get a bad scan or just not reading the diagram correctly? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Bank 1 is the bank containing cyl #1, bank 2 is the other cylinder bank. Sensor 1 is before the cat conv, sensor 2 is after it. This of course is on a V engine.
 
What year is your truck?
What engine?
CA or Federal emissions?

I have an 04 4runner 4.0L Engine model 1GR-FE. I live in Canada not sure about emission standards. I am 90% sure that the sensor in the link above is the right one. I just want someone who is 100% to back me up. Thank you very very much for taking the time to help me.
 
It looks like the right one. They used a toyota part for the picture. Id usually recommend the dealer for the right part but it seems worth the 100 dollar savings. The failed sensor is on the passenger side manifold.
 
I realize this is a old post but I came across it while searching for info on which side of our 2004 4Runner with the 1GR-FE engine was bank 2 as I had a P0156 code set. I came across this very helpful TSB from Toyota and thought it might be useful for someone else who might be looking in the future... Other engines are covered in here too:

http://www.toyotapart.com/Engine_Bank_1_and_Bank_2A-F_and_O2_Identification_T-SB-0398-09.pdf

From the TSB:

• Bank 1 (B1) refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
• Bank 2 (B2) refers to the bank opposite bank 1.
• Sensor 1 (S1) refers to the sensor that is located before the catalytic converters.
• Sensor 2 (S2) refers to the sensor that is located after the catalytic converters.

Just what I said back in 2010 :biggrin2:

And to help identify cylinder #1 in a V engine, it's the front most cylinder.
On a V engine cylinders on each side are offset from the opposite one, so the front cylinder on one bank is slightly more forward than the front cylinder on the other bank (although they may appear to be even).
