• Specific fit with threaded mounting
• 4-wire configuration with blade terminals
• Rectangle male connector with included wiring harness
• Steel finish and metal housing for demanding underbody conditions
• 18 mm thread size and 22 mm hex size
• Wiring harness length: 10.7 in; overall length: 14.1 in

Product Details

Bosch 16453 uses advanced ceramic sensing elements and controlled heater operation to deliver accurate oxygen-content readings across changing exhaust temperatures. Bosch developed this sensor line from its OE oxygen sensor experience, including early thimble-style designs and later planar narrowband technology that improves light-off speed and closed-loop response. For drivers searching for a Bosch 16453 oxygen sensor for Chevrolet Camaro or Cadillac CTS downstream left replacement, this part provides the OE-style signal quality expected by the engine management system.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro, downstream left.
• Fits 2012-2014 Cadillac CTS, downstream left.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Faulty oxygen sensor signal causing unstable fuel control
• Check engine light related to O2 sensor performance
• Slow sensor response during closed-loop operation
• Emissions test failure tied to downstream sensor readings
• Rough combustion control from inaccurate air-fuel feedback

Installation Notes

Confirm the downstream left location, connector shape, wire count, and thread size before installation. Use the threaded mounting point and verify the 4-wire harness routing matches the original sensor path to avoid strain or exhaust contact. Bosch 16453 is a specific-fit replacement, so compare the original part number and connector style before installation on your Chevrolet Camaro or Cadillac CTS.

Quality Assurance

Bosch supplies this Actual OE Oxygen Sensor with OE-proven engineering developed over decades of oxygen sensor production. The design uses high-temperature-resistant materials and heater control strategies intended to maintain consistent performance under thermal and vibration load.
