Heated Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Sensor 1

Callout Component Name
1 Heated Oxygen Sensor
CAUTION:

Refer to Fastener Caution .

Procedure

  1. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor harness connector.
  2. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-sieze compound. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .

TIP:  A special anti-seize compound is used in the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphic and glass beads. The graphic tends to burn 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-sieze compound applied before reinstallation.
