bigmac Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I have a 2016 Edge with the Ecoboost 2.0L engine which is throwing an O2 sensor code. I am trying to replace the upstream oxygen sensor, and am unable to get enough torque to break it free while stretching over the engine from above. The sensor is buried behind the engine near the firewall. The space is too tight to use a breaker bar or hammer. Has anyone replaced this sensor? How did you do it?

DsDad Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 You've probably completed this, but our 2016 2.0 also reported P2196, I think it was, before it reported P1450, the vapor canister purge valve. I read the purge valve sticking can cause unrelated emission codes. We replaced our purge valve and so far no further codes. Good luck.

CaseyT. Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I just finished replacing the upstream 02 sensor on my 2018 edge 2.0 turbo ecoboost and wow what a nightmare. My suggestion as i had the same problem not being able to break it loose from the top side. Take the driver tire off and go in from the bottom left side. It almost has to be done one handed and very uncomfortably but definitely couldnt complete it from the top so hope this helps someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vols44 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 I'm glad I purchased an ESP. Incurred code P0036 a few months ago. The bank 1 sensor 2 cost me a shuttle run and a $100 deductible. It's an 18' with a little more than 36k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
