Verify fitment with your VIN or engine serial number before ordering. This is the INLET (upstream) sensor. The OUTLET sensor is Detroit A0101532328 and is a different part — the two are not interchangeable, and fitting the wrong one will not clear the fault. This is a new sensor with no core charge; the Detroit remanufactured equivalent RA0101531928 does carry a core. Clear codes and allow the system to relearn after installation.
