Product Details

NTK part number 22045 is part of the Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor line, created for straightforward replacement on import and domestic vehicles. NTK uses ceramic sensor technology and OE application knowledge to produce oxygen sensors with controlled material quality from raw ceramic through finished component. This sensor is built for specific upstream locations on the Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis, helping maintain accurate exhaust feedback at the bank 1 sensor 1 or bank 2 sensor 1 position where specified. This part cross-references Bosch 15717 for the same application.

What This Oxygen Sensor Helps Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
• Incorrect air-fuel feedback from a worn upstream sensor
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to exhaust monitoring
• Reduced fuel control accuracy from delayed sensor response
• Failed emissions inspection caused by sensor fault codes
