J 39194-B Heated Oxygen Sensor Wrench

Notice: Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Notice in the Preface section.

Notice: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice in the Preface section.

1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
2. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector (2) from the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1).

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




3. Remove the HO2S (2). Use the J 39194-B , if required.

Important: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burns away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.

1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with the anti-seize compound P/N 12377953, or equivalent.

Notice: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Notice in the Preface section.

2. Install the HO2S (2). Use the J 39194-B , if required.

Tighten the HO2S to 42 N·m (31 lb ft).




3. Connect the HO2S electrical connector (2) to the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1).
