Where is the heated oxygen sensor bank 1 2 located on a 2000 Chevy venture?

The exact location of the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) Bank 1 Sensor 2 on a 2000 Chevy Venture will depend slightly on the engine (3.1L or 3.4L). However, it's generally located downstream of the catalytic converter on the exhaust manifold side closest to the passenger compartment (Bank 1 is typically the driver's side).

To be certain:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have diagrams showing the exact location of all sensors.

* Use a repair database: Online resources like AllDataDIY or Mitchell 1 (subscription required) will provide detailed diagrams.

* Look under the vehicle: Carefully inspect the exhaust system, looking for a sensor wired into the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter on the driver's side (Bank 1). The sensor will be threaded into the exhaust pipe and have a wiring harness connected to it. Be cautious of hot exhaust components.

Important Note: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical components in your vehicle.
