Denso OE Style Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor

Denso 234-5138 is an OE Style heated air/fuel ratio sensor built for direct replacement on select BMW applications. It is engineered for exact fitment, stable signal output, and the correct connector and harness layout for the listed upstream locations.

For BMW 328i, 335i, X5, and related models, this sensor supports accurate air-fuel monitoring where the engine management system depends on precise feedback from the exhaust stream.

Key Features

  • Heated air/fuel ratio sensor for upstream exhaust monitoring
  • Specific fit design for direct replacement applications
  • 5-wire configuration with male connector
  • Wiring harness length: 46.85
  • Thread diameter: 0.711
  • OE Style construction for proper fit and function

Product Details

Denso 234-5138 is manufactured and tested to OE standards, with each component precision-built for replacement accuracy and first-time fit. The OE Style line focuses on matching the original sensor form, connector style, and harness configuration so the part installs in the intended location without modification. This makes it a practical choice for BMW air/fuel ratio sensor replacement on upstream positions, including cylinder-specific and left-side applications listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Bosch 15168 and NTK 24333 for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Sensor May Address

  • Check engine light related to air/fuel ratio sensor performance
  • Rough idle or inconsistent fuel control
  • Reduced fuel economy from inaccurate exhaust feedback
  • Driveability issues caused by a slow or faulty upstream sensor signal
  • Emission control faults on BMW upstream sensor circuits

Installation Notes

Verify the exact BMW model, year, engine bank, and upstream position before ordering. This sensor is listed for specific fit applications, including BMW 328i upstream cylinder 4, 5, 6 and BMW X3 upstream cylinder 1, 2, 3. Match the connector, wire count, and thread diameter to the original part before installation. For best results, inspect the exhaust bung and wiring routing during replacement.
