All four of these sensors have been replaced and yet after the computer is cleared using the correct device, the light comes back on in a short period of time. The sensor that the computer code identifies as not operating properly changes among the sensors after error is cleared. The code in the computer has never been updated. Is there a place one might get a code update for this vehicle. After replacing all four sensors, one would not expect to continue getting these type of readings.

Thanks

Changing parts !!
does not always work
50/50 chance

every code comes with a list of things to do and check before the replacement of any parts

for example a small vacuum leak and or an exhaust leak will give wrong o2 readings

what do u have for codes
