Hi,

The manual indicates it is accessed from under the vehicle. However, the good news is it is located at the front of the engine above the oil filter and below the exhaust manifold.

I attached the directions below for the bank 2 sensor. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

You get to it from underneath the car. Put it on ramps or jack stands and remove the under-engine shield. It's bolted to the engine block behind the converter and next to the oil filter. Normally I drain the oil and pull the filter for more room. Clean the surface and install the replacement and tighten the bolt to 18 ft lbs. (Very snug)
