Removal Procedure


    Object Number: 1462140  Size: SH

  2. Disconnect the bank 2, oxygen sensor 2 (4), electrical connector from the engine wiring harness connector.

    Caution: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution in the Preface section.

  4. Remove the bank 2, oxygen sensor 2 (4), from the catalytic converter.

Installation Procedure

Note: Use special anti-seize compound on the heated oxygen sensor threads. The compound consists of graphite suspended in fluid and glass beads. The graphite burns away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If you remove an oxygen sensor and if for any reason you must reinstall the same oxygen sensor, apply the anti-seize compound to the threads before reinstallation.
