The bank 1 sensor 1 is located on the catalytic converter in your car. If there are issues with the converter, it can lead to several problems. One noticeable sign is the presence of black smoke from under the hood, not indicating a fire, but it's important to turn off the car immediately. As you try to accelerate, you may notice the engine is slow to respond, resulting in a reduced maximum speed. Additionally, you might detect a sulfur or rotten eggs odor from beneath the vehicle. Repairing a catalytic converter typically costs between $950 and $2500, covering both parts and labor. While it's a costly fix, it's necessary to address the issue.
The position of bank 1 sensor 1 is where you'll find the oxygen sensor that is attached to the catalytic converter.
