Possible false error codes

Asked by KSquish89 Nov 07, 2018 at 05:27 PM about the 2002 Toyota RAV4 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Two months ago, I got a code for a bad O2 sensor (Bank 1 Sensor 1). Last
week I did another reading and it showed B1S1 and B2S2 were bad. Today, I
took my car to the shop and they said THREE sensors were now triggering
error codes (B1S1, B2S2 and B1S1). They suggested I take it to an electrician
before spending money to replace any sensors since it is rare that 3/4 of the
sensors will go out at once. Can you advise?

O2 sensors usually get slow or go bad after 100,000 miles. If you are past 100,000 then change all of them, but have the wiring checked over.
