Default 02 simms go bad?

So my ses light has been on for a while now i scanned the codes and it read bank 1 sonsor 1 so i replaced both front 02 sensors and now its throing bank 1 sensor 2?? I have sims.. They have been ok for about 2 years? So can they go bad? Guess ill just get the rear 02's tuned out now if this is true. Not wasting money on sims that will go bad!

It is probably your actual O2 sensor that is either reading slow. I had the same problem. Mine are shut off with EFI Live. Forced me to buy an inspection sticker.

It is probably your actual O2 sensor that is reading slow or not coming up to temp. I had the same problem. Mine are shut off with EFI Live. Forced me to buy an inspection sticker.

I just changed my front 02's yesterday. That code went away now this one shows up. So I think maybe my sims went bad..

See if you can get a local member with HPTuners or EFI Live to tune out your rear O2's for you. You should be able to fix the problem for good for a LOT cheaper than O2 sims or a tuning shop.
