Caution: In order to avoid being burned, do not service the exhaust system while it is still hot. Service the system when it is cool.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S1) electrical connector.



3. Remove the following from the exhaust manifold (2):

•

2 nuts

•

3 bolts

•	The upper exhaust manifold heat shield (1)

4. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.



5. Remove the following from the exhaust manifold and engine block:

•

2 bolts

•

1 nut

•	The exhaust manifold reinforcement bracket (1)




6. Remove the following from the exhaust manifold (1):

•

2 bolts

•	The front pipe/three way catalytic converter (TWC) assembly (3)

7. Lower the vehicle.



8. Remove the 9 nuts and the lift hook from the exhaust manifold (3).



9. Remove the exhaust manifold (3) with the gasket (2).



10. Remove the three bolts and lower the exhaust manifold heat shield (6) from the exhaust manifold (2).
11. Remove the heated oxygen (HO2S1) Sensor (4) from the exhaust manifold (2).
12. Remove the three way catalytic converter (TWC) front pipe gasket from the exhaust manifold (2).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the heated oxygen (HO2S1) sensor (4) into the exhaust manifold (2).

Tighten
