Subject:      Re: O2 Sensor

Hello,

I put in a new O2 sensor in my van because the wire had come loose on the one that was in there.

Now the O2 sensor light stays on constantly, is there something I need to reset to tell it I put in a new sensor or is it indicative of another problemm.

Please respond to me directly

Yes, the 02 sens light is designed to come on at certain mileage intervals and has to be reset on order to turn it off. Does your van run any different with the new sensor? My Mechanic (PetroSillos Bros.) told me not to bother getting a new one because they don't make any difference, ie, the control center can't even tell if its there. He said they were initially put on to control emissions, but he has tested buses before and after installing new sensors and couldn't notice any change. Let me know if you noticed any improvement, in mpg or whatever.
