Ls400 Oxygen Sensor Problem?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have a problem with my '93 LS400.

As the engine starts to warm up, (3-4 miles), between 16-18K rpm the response gets very "plucky" until I slowly accellerate through. At higher revs the roughness is less noticeable but still there. Also the emmissions smell slightly "eggy".

My mate (a fomer Lexus main dealer service manager) has been in the diagnostic port and identified a Code 25 fault. Using the service manual he then did a basic voltage check on the OX1 and OX2 sensors and found while OX2 showed the correct fluctuations identified in the manual, there was no change of voltage at all in OX1.

He recons because OX1 is temperature dependant the heater element in the sensor is duff.

Any thoughts would be most welcome and if he is correct what should I expect to have to pay for a new sensor?

www.oxygensensors.com - thats where i got mine from for my old LS..you have a choice of universal 4 wire sensors which are dirt cheap, or the proper OEM sensor, both do the job, the universal just requires some extra work on installation, as the wires are probably too long.

installation guide here

price of one sensor is 90 odd dollars,universal is 50 dollars. considerably cheaper than uk prices mate.

does look like your sensors are shot, i had the same error code on mine.
