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:
-
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.
