SOURCE: where is the bank 2 sensor 1 located.

Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:

Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 1 sensor 2
Bank 2 sensor 2

some manufacturers use a kind of shorthand that reads different, but means the same thing:
Sensor 1/1 or O2s 1/1
Sensor 2/1 or O2s 2/1
Sensor 1/2 or O2s 1/2
Sensor 2/2 or O2s 2/2

Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of coarse, Bank 2 is the opposite side.
On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.

Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (The one located BEFORE the catalytic converter)
Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.

Most GM engines have #1 cylinder located on the left bank, (or Driver's Side) of the engine,

So, the answer to your question would be that you are looking for the sensor located before the catalytic converter on the right (or Passenger Side) of the truck.

Hi the oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust it will either be just before or just after the catalytic converter it will be bolted into the exhaust and will have two wires coming off it that connect into the wiring loom near the engine.

2005 Dodge Durango 4.7L V8. Where are the Bank 1 sensors 1 & 2 located please?

Question turned around for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Bank one is drivers side.
Sensor 1 is closest to the engine and before the Catalytic Converter.
Sensor 2 is just after the Cat in the exhaust.

Same as this

https://www.2carpros.com/questions/where-is-the-bank-i-oxygen-sensor

More here. Check that the wiring is intact, as it is odd they have both failed.

H2o bank 2 sensor 1 location

Bank and sensor location. Bank 1 refers to the back of cylinders that contain cylinder #1. Bank two refers to the other bank of cylinders that do not contain cylinder #1. Sensor 1 refers to the upstream O2 sensor or the O2 sensor before the catalytic convertor. Sensor 2 refers to the downstream O2 sensor or the sensor located after the Catalytic convertor. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions, good luck.

For my o2 sensors the codes r bank 1 sensor1 bank 2 sensor 2 bank 2 sensor 1 bank 1 sensor sensor 2

Hi there:
Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:
- Bank 1 sensor 1 or Bank 1 sensor 2
- Bank 2 sensor 1 or Bank 2 sensor 2



Keep in mind that Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of course, Bank 2 is the opposite side.

On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.

Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (The one located BEFORE the catalytic converter) and Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

This is Bank 1 (closer to the dash panel) Sensor 2 (located after the catalytic converter).

---
Note: A malfunctioning front oxygen sensor may cause fuel trim codes to set.
  1. Several Diagnostic Trouble Codes use specific terminology to refer to sensor location. The illustration and key below explain the following terms:
  2. Engine BANK Bank 1 is closer to the dash panel, (also referred to as RH or right hand). Bank 2 is closer to the radiator, (also referred to as LH or left hand).
  3. UP Refers to Sensor 1 or "front sensor". It is located closer to the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
  4. DOWN Refers to Sensor 2 or "rear sensor." It is located after the catalytic converter.
  5. The following examples show how to interpret oxygen sensor terminology:
  6. B1/S1 = Bank 1/Sensor 1 = Dash panel side, BEFORE the catalyst or "upstream"
  7. B2/S2 = Bank 2/Sensor 2 = Radiator side, AFTER the catalyst or "downstream"
