Hey guys I need to pass smog today and my CEL will not go off, any suggestions? I need to pass today pretty badly, registration is long overdue.

Ok I got the trouble code its P0135 I think its an 02 sensor, anybody know which one?

[Turbosolara]

it is your bank 2 AF sensor, the sensor right next to your catalytic convertor. are you boosting right now? you can just reset it and see if it comes back

[SC V6]

typically o2 sensors take a few trips to pull a code...

Not boosting, and that is what I had suspected actually, when I put my new exhaust on I noticed the 02 was all burned looking at the tip. Sucks man, anybody know the part number for toyo, or where I can get one?

Next to last one.

[StockSolara]

P0135 - Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (bank 1, sensor 1)
· Open or short in heated oxygen sensor heater circuit
· Heated Oxygen sensor heater malfunction
· PCM malfunction

This code is for the A/F Sensor in the back headers so it's not the one on the CAT.

Maybe I misread it or something cause my toyota's service manual says it was the rear one but owell if toyota says so

[DatSRBoi]

You dont need to keep us posted if your car is a V6. The mechanic must be mistaken or something. I pulled same code and it was the rear 02. Replaced it and never saw it again.

my manual says so too. it is a pretty common code for most of boost cars. you just type P0135 and you will see alot of threads about it.

But i was wrong because i just think it is by the cat so it got to be bank2 but yeah it is the damn sensor by the catalytic convertor.

Well it was the front most 02, crap was it easy! Took maybe 3 min, no mo cel and Im smogging tomorrow! Funny thing, my baby is running tight now! She's fast again! I dont remember who said but somebody on here said CEL's make your care run in safety mode or something, it's no bullshit.

That typically happens with knock sensors, they'll make the car go into limp mode, but it is 100% logical if your o2 sensor wasn't working properly. You A/F ratio could have been off, making the car either run lean (knock sensors would retard timing to prevent damage) or too rich.
