Installation Procedure
- If reinstalling the old temperature sensor or differential pressor sensor line fittings, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
- Position and install the exhaust differential pressure sensor pipe assembly.
- Loosely install the exhaust differential pressure sensor bracket bolts (1).
- Install the exhaust differential pressure sensor pipe assembly fittings (2).
- Tighten the exhaust differential pressure sensor pipe fittings to 45 N.m (33 lb ft).
- Tighten the exhaust differential pressure sensor bracket bolts to 9 N.m (80 lb in).
- Install the exhaust differential pressure sensor pipe assembly hoses to the sensor.
- Position the exhaust differential pressure sensor pipe assembly hose clamps (3).
- Lower the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
NOTE:
A special anti-seize compound is used in the sensor or line fittings threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor or line fitting easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors or line fittings already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor or line fittings are removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor or line fitting are reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution
