4. Remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe.
-
Because of the expansion and contraction of the metal in the exhaust system over time, this may be difficult if the engine temperature is below
48 °C (120 °F).
Installation Procedure
Important:
-
There is a special anti-seize compound on the HO2S threads. This compound consists of glass beads suspended in a liquid graphite solution. The
graphite burns away with engine heat, but the glass beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove.
-
New or service sensors will already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason, the
threads must have anti-seize compound applied.
1. Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Install the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe in its original position.
Tighten
Tighten the oxygen sensor to 55 N-m (40 lb ft.).
3. Connect the pigtail to the wiring harness.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
