NTK 22152 Oxygen Sensor - Upstream or Upstream Right

Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor for Ford, Lincoln, Mazda

NTK 22152 is a direct fit oxygen sensor built for specific upstream applications on Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles. It uses a heated narrow-band switching zirconia design to provide closed-loop feedback to the ECU, helping the engine manage air-fuel ratio and monitor emissions system performance.

As part of NTK’s Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor line, this replacement sensor is built for OE-style application coverage and sensor technology used in emission control systems. It is a specific-fit, threaded screw-in sensor with a circular female connector and 4-wire configuration.

Key Features

• Part number: NTK 22152

• Overall length: 15.75 in. (400 mm)

Detailed Description

NTK 22152 is engineered for emission control service where accurate oxygen sensor feedback is needed for engine management and OBDII monitoring. The sensor measures exhaust oxygen content and sends constant closed-loop feedback to the ECU, supporting fuel delivery control and catalytic converter efficiency checks. This makes it a direct replacement choice for vehicles that require an upstream narrow-band sensor.

Compatible With 2011-2019 Ford Fiesta, upstream; 2007-2010 Ford Edge, upstream right; 2010 Ford Fusion, upstream right; 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX, upstream right; 2007-2010 Lincoln MKZ, upstream right; 2007-2010 Mazda CX-9, upstream right; 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, upstream right; 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, upstream right; and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, upstream right. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 15755, 18124) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
• Incorrect air-fuel ratio feedback to the ECU
• Reduced fuel efficiency caused by faulty upstream sensor data
• Emission test failures tied to sensor or catalyst monitoring issues
• Driveability concerns linked to unstable closed-loop operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, wire count, thread size, and sensor position before installation. This sensor uses a threaded screw-in mount with a 7/8 in. wrench size and a 4-wire harness, so matching the original connector and upstream location is important for proper service. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for Ford Fiesta, Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda CX-9, Ford Taurus, Ford Taurus X, and Mercury Sable applications before replacement.

Quality Assurance

NTK is a major OEM oxygen sensor supplier with in-house ceramic technology used from raw material through finished sensor production. That manufacturing control supports consistent sensor construction and OE application coverage for emission control service.
