O2 Sensor Replaced for Free?

mike92runnerSR5 · 06-04-2007, 01:51 PM

I have a 92' 4runner 3vze. I was reading in the owners manual that when the O2 sensor is malfunctioning you should bring the vehicle back to the dealer for replacement for free. Has anyone else done this? I just bought a new one then read this so I haven't installed it yet. Anyone? Thanks.

RunnerUp · 06-04-2007, 03:03 PM

ive got to see this, take a picture of the manual where it says that please

notanymore · 06-04-2007, 03:05 PM

theres only one way to find out if it works. take it to the dealer and show them the book and tell them you want your free o2 sensor

JEBSR5 · 06-04-2007, 03:12 PM

You got me reading the owners manual now. What page, category?

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 03:34 PM

*runs out to truck to get owners manual*

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 03:40 PM

HOLY CRAP ITS THERE!!! page 166 in my 1994 4runner manual

dijlop · 06-04-2007, 03:44 PM

lmao. nice. i guess that'll make it a little less expensive after the seafoam treatment, just in case it starts to malfunction or something. i can get a new one for free. woo

RunnerUp · 06-04-2007, 03:44 PM

really.... makes me wonder if that is also in my 2002 manual

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 03:46 PM

Oxygen sensor

Replace the oxygen sensor when scheduled. Your Toyota dealer will make this replacement (parts and labor) at no cost to you.

dijlop · 06-04-2007, 03:47 PM

when schedualed?

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 03:49 PM

oh there's the catch... its at 80,000 miles... but if they havent done it they should still honor it... "why yes, i do have 196k on the O2 sensor......"

881stGenRunner · 06-04-2007, 03:51 PM

i heard about this about a year ago and folks were saying that Toyota no longer honored the warranty. Still might as well go to the dealer and check it out.

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 03:52 PM

humm i think i'll go for a drive......

dijlop · 06-04-2007, 03:53 PM

i will most deff still go to the dealer and try it. lol. im actually comin up on 80k very soon. of course ive got a new odo so it only says like 15.5k or so. however, i will try it at some point. if anyone else does it do tell.

**Tofer** · 06-04-2007, 04:01 PM

actually i'll wait till i have to goto walmart, thay way i'm not wasting 12miles/gal. gas just to find out they arent doing it anymroe

JEBSR5 · 06-04-2007, 04:07 PM

Sure enough it's there, only it's on page 158 on 90 model.

Imagine:

All over the US a dozen or so people rushed out to their trucks to read the manual.

Why do I find that image so darned hilarious?

hahahahah

ShortyzKustomz · 06-04-2007, 04:55 PM

If only my truck had an O2 sensor! I like free things

mike92runnerSR5 · 06-04-2007, 05:18 PM

well I guess I'm not the only one who is reading this...it's on page 160 in the 92' OM. Maybe I'll call Toyota Corporate tomorrow and see what they say..I started this thread at work w/o the OM...does say "when scheduled" not "when malfunctioning"...I guess I'll find out..

mike92runnerSR5 · 06-05-2007, 05:27 AM

bump..

BeaterToyota · 06-05-2007, 04:57 PM

Yep, I saw that too when I bought my '94 (used). It already had too many miles so I didn't bother taking it in. I'd be interested to find out if any high-mileage trucks get this handled for free.

dijlop · 06-05-2007, 05:09 PM

well shoot, if its over 80k miles then why wouldnt they? if thjey havent replaced it yet they should. i mean come on, its not like they can expect u to bring it in at exactly 80k miles right? just cause its closer to 180k doesnt mean anything... hehehe

Dogsofjune · 06-05-2007, 05:29 PM

Hehe, funny. I just replaced the O2 sensor today, along with the cat, and swapped the exhaust manifold out for a Thorley header.

Wished I had known this sooner. Might have saved me the wait of shipping from sparkplugs.com
