2007 - 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 Liter: Downstream Oxygen (O2) Sensor Replacement Guide!

Welcome back to the Trick Shift Garage! In this video, we'll be showing you how to properly remove and install your oxygen sensor on our 2007 Altima. This is for the 2.5 Liter engine and it is the downstream sensor after it passes through the catalytic converter. In summary, it's really easy and simple to do! A 7/8" or 22 mm wrench will remove the O2 sensor after removing the electrical connector. If you need help or have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out with a comment, and as always, thanks for watching!

Replacing this Oxygen Sensor SHOULD resolve the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):

Thanks for you video I just failed inspection on our 2010 Nissan Altima because of Code P0420, they told me it could be a 02 sensor didn’t say if it was the front or rear one not really sure what to do.. But I think I’ll just try to replace them both tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! Thanks again for your video brother..

How many O2 sensors does a 2012 nissan Altima have 2.5 liter with California emissions since I'm in California. Love your channel, you've helped me change out my own struts and my axles, thanks so much for your awesome videos

[SheLuvSlxmpd]

where did you buy yours from i have a 09 nissna Altima too but I Didnt know which one to buy i need to get my upstream and downstream

[Drew-qqhe]

Good explanation of the replacement, I will use it to change my sensor

[HectorSandoval-bz]

I see you’re very fond of the 2012 model ! Your videos have been very informative for me thank you.

Side question . My mass air flow sensor continues to pop as a problem, however I’ve replaced it a couple times and it can’t be the problem. My rpm’s tend to fluctuate like crazy. When I let go of the accelerator the rpm drops to 800 really fast. Currently now it started to jerk when trying to accelerate past 2k Rpm’s. Have you experienced this ? Thanks again

Have a 2011 rogue SV with manifold cat, no one shows how to get the downstream sensor out. Looks like going from underneath is the way to go but there must be a trick on how to do it

[aharris]

I had the code p0171 and changed the upstream 02 (under the hood). Cleared the codes and drove around. A few days later code p2096 pops up. Would this be the downstream needing to be replaced? I got a new cat and manifold last year so I’m not thinking that’s the problem

[l.carpio]

I have a 2014 Maxima S 3.5L and it’s giving me this code P2097
Post Catalyst Fuel Trim SYS B1. Is this the same one?

[MegaSunilnegi]

Whats the difference between the upstream and downstream sensor (not talking about a 3rd sensor that CA might require). Arentvthey both the same air fuel ratio sensors?

[GrievousFrom]

I have a 2008 2.5s. I got the error code for Bank 1, Sensor 1. Is it in a similar place to the one you're replacing here?

[kellygibson]

FYSA you can use a battery termincal cleaner brush to get into the threads to clean them.

[Redrum_]

Where would the Bank 1 sensor 1 be on a 2008 Altima 2.5 SL code P2A00?

[LuisCruz-rhpt]

Hey man my old downstream o2 sensor is male and my harness is a female??? i wonder if the old owner rewired the harness? is it possible to rewire or change the harness completely im stuck.

[dittocopys]

I wish the part was included in the description

[nicedubs]

Not sure what you mean. Push the tab IN and down? Pull the tab OUT and down? Pushing down doesn't do anything. It's a tab, so it has to move inward toward the wire harness or out and away. That's kind of a critical component of this who thing because you either push down and break it or pull the tab out when it needs to go in or vice versa.

[jaydon]

which 02 censor is this one considered to be because i changed the one right in front of the engine and it’s still giving the same code

[pvpv]

Love the video's, question I am getting a code on mine code p0146 (o2 sensor no activity detected bank 1 sensor 3) can't find it anywhere, is the one in your video it?

[dewayne]

You I’m connected the battery the negative or the positive or just unconnected the whole battery

[DoraliciaMaravilla]

Where is the bank 2 sensor 2 on 2015 Nissan Altima 3.5? Ty

[MCTennn]

I'm curious, what does a new 02 sensor improve?
