p0150-00 error code help
I received this error code. It says 02 sensor circuit (bank 2 sensor 1) - not current dtc
I took it to my mechanic and he ran his machine and came up with the above code. He said that the 02 sensor on the driver side exhaust manifold would need to be replaced. We cycled the engine about three times and the CEL went off. I've found information online that leaves me to believe that this could also be related to needing an ECU update, but that normally shows another fault as well. My mechanic can't do any computer updates, and ford wants $100 to "troubleshoot" and $120 to update if needed. My mechanic recommends just waiting to see if the CEL comes back at any point. He said the Ford OEM part is about $120 or so and the labor is $60.
So, long story short. Is this something I should replace now, or should I wait to see if CEL comes back?
Is this something I could replace on my own or is it worth paying the $60 to let him deal with it?
Is it worth taking to Ford to scan for update, or would you not do that unless replacing sensor doesn't fix issue?
I appreciate any help on this.

Order the 02 sensor from rockauto .com, Bosch makes good sensors.. not hard to swap yourself.

If there is a later calibration that would be the best thing to do before you start throwing parts at it. Working as a dealer line tech for over 11 years I have seen these types of concerns fixed with only an update.

so.. when you have a DTC that is telling you it’s bad and you replace it.. that’s tossing parts at it ? I would rather spend $23 on a sensor that the DTC says is causing the problem than A trip to the dealer for a $100 re-flash that may not solve anything. Just saying !

Ok... you win Comp, tell him to go to the dealer and spend the $120 for a re-flash.

P.S. I always did the pcm updating for free for my customers, the op here should look for a different dealer, small town dealers are usually the best.
