Position sensor
I have a problem, My check engine light came on on my '98 Jeep Grand
Cheorkee, so I had someone look at it and the computer reading was Bank 1
sensor 2, that was what it said, so I get that the second sensor is bad,
but where is it? Have any advice?

The P code would help,
Bank 1 Sensor 2 is the second downstream O2 sensor.
Sensor 1 is on the downpipe just after the exhaust header.
Sensor 2 is in the exhaust pipe just after the catalytic converter.
I'd find the sensor connector, clean it, and reinstall.
Also check the wires for burns from the exhaust system.
(don't spray cleaner on the sensor or up the wire harness toward
the sensor. very bad for the sensor.. very bad...)
All else fails, replace the part. (
$83 OEM (buymopar.com)
$102 from the stealership.
Napa has generic BSH 15729 for $60
and OEM BSH 13138 for $78
That's not a critical error. You can live with it for a while if you need to.
Only the first sensor actually adjusts fuel trim, the second keeps an eye on
the catalytic converter.

Re: Position sensor
It is quite common to find the wire had brushed up against part of the
exhaust and the insulation burned away causing a short or break in the wire.
If you find this it can be repaired.
Use wire of at least the same gauge, solder, and shrink-wrap the repair to
make it waterproof. Use plastic zip-ties to secure the wire and prevent a
repeat.
