The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Certain 2006 Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana vans equipped with a 4.8 LR4 or 6.0 LQ4 engine may have a customer concern of exhaust leak. The exhaust leak may be caused by a loose or missing O2 sensor plug.

A O2 sensor found in the Bank 1 or Bank 2 Sensor 2 position (post O2 sensor) may not be needed on certain vehicle GVWs or emission contented vehicles.

Recommendation/Instructions:

If the vehicle has no driveability concerns, no trouble codes, and O2 sensor operation is normal, inspect for a loose or missing post O2 sensor plug.

If the O2 sensor plug is missing replace with GMSPO part number 25509274.
