Revisit O2 sensors

I found a TSB (technical service bulletin) that shows an extended warranty for the front bank 02 sensors on the 2000-2002 Tundra V8, if your OSB codes show P0135 or P0155 the dealer will replace them for free up to seven years. I had a check engine light and these codes were displayed. But they disappeared when the mechanic reset. The light has not come on since then. Is there a way I can duplicate these codes so the dealer will replace the sensors or do I have to wait for the error code to show up again???

hi guys im new on here but i really need someone to really help me out. i have a 2000 tundra and the check engine light came on, the error code that comes up is p0135 i know it's the o2 sensors but which one. there are total of 4-o2 sensors, i need to find out so i can fix it. help?

The begining of the post states that there is a warranty extension of 7 years or 90,000 miles. If you fall within the mileage you should be able to get it taken care of at the dealer.

Make sure it is covered before you ok anything.

It is located on the driver's side exhaust manifold.

Check engine light appeared two days ago on my 2000 Tundra with 24,000 miles. Local dealer scanned it, said bad O2 on one side, replaced both front sensors with a "kit" that contained the two upgraded front sensors. I spoke to the mechanic and asked about stripping out the exhaust manifold while trying to remove the sensors. He says about 50% require new manifolds. Both of mine were easily removed while I waited, and I was out the door in less than one hour. My receipt for $0.00 referenced the TSB number.

I asked about lower ball joints and was told by a mechanic, not a service ticket writer, that he had seen no 2000s with ball joint problems like on later models. He said that some 2006 models had to be pulled from the lot and have ball joints replaced before they could be sold. I'm going to keep a close eye on them, and when/if necessary, change them myself with a ball joint that has a grease zerk.
