As the title implies, my oxygen sensor is throwing out P2252 on the DTC's , and lucky me, my inspection is due by the end of October.

My mechanic found the list price for the sensor to be $366 sans tax. Dealership pricing is probably just as high.

Am I going to have to dish out that amount for one sensor? Or has anyone found a more cost effect solution to this error, hope I can get it solved by the end of October

Cheers

 

Because this O2 sensor controls the ECU mixture (and not Cat performance) it cannot nor should not be 'bypassed' (w/ MIL Eliminator tricks).

Replace it. Me? I would check EBay for a used one and before that i would inspect the wiring to the O2 sensor for chaffing/cuts. i would also search the 'net and replace it myself.

 

Solved. I ordered one from Rockauto.com

Apparently Mitsubishi uses Denso sensors, and they sell for between $40-OEM priced . Bought the $40 Denso, took a day but the error finally went away, car seems to run abit smoother too.

 

Good!
