Tools Required
J 39194-B Heated Oxygen Sensor Wrench
Notice: When replacing the HO2S perform the following:
• A code clear with a scan tool, regardless of whether or not a DTC is set • HO2S heater resistance learn reset with a scan tool, where available
Notice: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice in the Preface section.
Removal Procedure
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
- Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector (3) from the engine wiring harness connector (1).
- Using the J 39194-B , remove the HO2S from the catalytic converter.
Notice: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Notice in the Preface section.
Installation Procedure
Important: Use special anti-seize compound on the HO2S 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.
- Coat the threads of the HO2S with the anti-seize compound P/N 5613695, or equivalent if necessary.
- Using the J 39194-B , install the HO2S into the catalytic converter.
- Connect the HO2S electrical connector (3) to the engine wiring harness connector (1).
- Lower the vehicle.
Notice: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the HO2S to 42 N·m (31 lb ft).
