how to tell which Oyxgen sensor is bad? P1187
so a while ago i got this code: P1187, Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Short Upstream i realized (with the help of y'all) that i needed to change the oxygen sensor. i know its one of the front 2 before the catalic converter(up stream) but how do i tell specifically which one it is (Driver or passenger side bank1 or bank2)??
i called my mechanic he said he would have to call a technician to look at it for 90$
he suggested replacing both or flipping a coin and resetting the check engine light but i wouldnt be able drive it long enough to know if i replaced the right sensor
any suggestions?
all help is greatly appreciated
