Description
TRQ oxygen sensors are manufactured to precise specifications using premium raw materials to optimize your vehicle’s emission system. Each sensor is isostatically-pressed for improved strength and durability, and plasma-sprayed to improve sensitivity and prolong the service life of the sensors. Oxygen sensors wear out over time and should be replaced every 60,000 miles to prevent poor engine performance. TRQ recommends replacing the oxygen sensors in sets to optimize fuel economy and reduce overall emissions. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.
What is Upstream vs. Downstream?
Upstream location is between the catalytic converter and the engine
Downstream location is between the catalytic converter and the tailpipe
Install Tip: You may be required to reset the vehicle computer after installation of this part.
Returns: Parts with electrical components cannot be returned once installed.

1. Identifying your Oxygen Sensors
Upstream oxygen sensors are located in between the engine and the catalytic converter
Downstream oxygen sensors are located in the catalytic converter or farther away from the engine than the catalytic converter

The bank that contains cylinder one is bank one
The bank that does not contain cylinder one is bank two, even if it does not contain cylinder two

In this video I have a couple of oxygen sensors with me. While there are some aesthetic differences here, the wire lengths are a little different, the actual body and tip of the sensor are a little different, the threads and gasket are the same, and on the other end the connections are actually the same. I can plug these into either position on our vehicle. But if I had to ask you which one's upstream and which one's downstream, you probably can't tell just from looking at them. That's true of most oxygen sensors. The way you determine whether or not an O2 sensor is upstream or downstream is all done visually.
Your oxygen sensor position can be determined relative to your catalytic convertor. As the name suggests, upstream sensors will be located upstream or ahead of, in front of, above, closer to the engine than your catalytic convertors. This means that they see the exhaust gasses first. They then go through the catalytic convertor and to the downstream oxygen sensor, which will either be located in the catalytic convertor like our vehicle here, or after the catalytic convertor to monitor the gasses coming out of the cat and make sure that it's being efficient relative to the readings of the upstream O2 sensor.
The other determination you need to make is bank one versus bank two. Determining which bank is which can be done by looking at a picture of your vehicle's firing order. Whichever bank contains cylinder one is going to be bank one, and the other one, regardless of whether or not cylinder two is in it, is going to be bank two by default. These banks are true of V engines like V8s, V6s, and flat engines like Porsches and Subarus that have individual banks.
On inline four-cylinder engines, as long as they have one exhaust manifold like a Jeep four-liter or a four-cylinder Honda engine, you'll only have one bank with an upstream and downstream O2 sensor. There will be no bank two on the engine.
On our vehicle here, this is the passenger side, which we've already determined from the firing order is bank one. We have our upstream sensor here closest to the engine ahead of the cat. Then we have our downstream or sensor two here inside of the catalytic convertor. This could also be located somewhere after the cat. Here I have my two sensors for the vehicle. While they are aesthetically different, we can now tell this is my upstream sensor because it looks just like the upstream sensor I have up there. This is my downstream sensor. Now that we know which one's which, we can order the right part, correct the problem, and fix you up right.

Great buy
Installed with no issue, have used it now for 6 months and it is working great. Had to do a reset on the engine start to get it to register on the computer, but once that was done all was well.
★★★★★September 10, 2021
My car it's working better
Perfect
★★★★★June 13, 2021
Works great, even after 8 months.
Actually works. unlike other 1aauto parts Ive bought. I installed this a few months ago and it worked immediately (with an OBD fault code reset and new #4 fuse). I do see truth to some reviews that say the thickness of the plastic harness is not quite to factory and creates a weird fit... but it does fit. And at a much lower price than the factory piece. This is one of the very few 1aauto parts I actually recommend. Given the outrageous price to replace this part, especially if you're replacing as a result of a stolen catalytic converter, you can save some money by getting this.
★★★★★May 11, 2021
Works
Works. Replaced this one and another I bought from Amazon. Removed my check engine. Although after replacing other sensors and problems began showing up. Not sure if it has to do with using this sensor.

Is this compatible with honda civic es5 2003 car?
Please provide your full vehicle information or VIN number to confirm product availability and fitment.

Are there two sensors included or can they be used interchangeably for upstream and downstream?
as far as I know there are two sensors and they arent interchangeable. The one I purchased was a downstream sensor and worked fine.

RolandMarch 27, 2016
Is this used for upstream and down stream on a 2000 civic 1.6?
I think it depends. I have an 05 civic hybrid and the up and down sensors are different ends. This senor only works to replace the downstream sensor. The upstream has a different end.
