It's the main Air/Fuel ratio sensor.
Check/Replace the sensor.

Depends if you have an i4, or a v6.
Cost on if you can unscrew it & plug in the new wiring, or if you buy a generic sensor, cut the wiring off the old sensor & soldier it (I don't like crimping.) to the new sensor.

Doing the last option yourself makes it signifigantly cheaper. Reset the ECU afterwards to clear the fuel trims.

Answer
Just the one sensor on the A/F manifold.
Ooooh.
An hour of labor to have someone install it. That'll run about $70-110usd depending on where you go & local pricing.


About $140-160usd if you buy the OEM Denso, or a Bosch drop in sensor. If you buy a generic Denso sensor (if you can find one) The cost is normally 50-66% of the drop in. It's the exact same thing, you just don't have a connector. meaning you cut the old wire & connector off the old sensor & soldier it onto the new one.






It's nothing complicated to do. There's no reason to pay someone to do it. Just buy the sensor, get youself an oxygen sensor socket & replace it. Takes about a minute to do if it's not frozen in. If it is, just run the engine till warm, put on some real good gloves & try then. Put some anti-sieze compound on the new sensor's threads.

From there just reset the ECU & you're good to go.
