Auto Zone gave me an OEM Number to cross: PO135. Probable cause: (1) Oxygen sensor defective. (2) Poor connection at oxygen sensor. (3)Check circuit fuse.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2005 Chevrolet Impala. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
You said "first"! How many 02 sensors does an 2003 Impala, 3.4 engine, have? And, if one bank needs replacing, is it "normal", or "practical" to replace all?
You can change them both if you wish. You have two on this vehicle. One is in front of the catalytic converter and the other is behind it toward the muffler. The code you have if for the one in front of the catalytic converter.
After the computer in the vehicle has completed a full diagnostic cycle (which is different in all cars) the light should go off. Just drive normally and in about 150 miles it should reset. You can take the battery wires off wait 15min to 20 min and the computer will reset and the light will go off. You will still have to complete the diagnostic cycle to be sure it does not return.

Okay! Now, once I replace them, how do I reset the "check engine" light, or get rid of it? Or does it go away "automatically" once they are replaced?
