WARNING: Avoid contact with HOT components. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves to avoid personal injury. CAUTION: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution . CAUTION: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution . CAUTION: Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Caution . CAUTION: The use of excessive force may damage the threads in the exhaust manifold/pipe. Procedure If replacing, perform the HO2S heater resistance learned values reset. HO2S Heater Resistance Learned Values Reset NOTE: The heated oxygen sensor in-line connector and louvered end MUST be kept clear of all grease, dirt, and other contaminants. Do NOT use cleaning solvents of any type. Do NOT drop or roughly handle the sensor. The heated oxygen sensor MAY be difficult to remove when the engine temperature is less than 48°C (120°F). A special anti-seize compound is used on the heated oxygen sensor threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite will burn away, but the glass beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors will have the compound already applied to the threads. IF a sensor is removed and is to be reinstalled, the threads MUST have an anti-seize compound applied before installation.
