Installation Procedure
- On the removed exhaust particulate sensor, measure distances from the start of the wire at the sensor probe to all 3 marked locations where clips were installed.
- On the NEW exhaust particulate sensor to be installed, use distances measured above to mark the sensor wire for the locations of the 3 NEW clips that will be installed
- Coat the exhaust pipe thread (3) with assembly paste. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants and Sealers .
- Ensure that the sensor threads are coated with anti seize compound prior to installation. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants and Sealers .
- Install exhaust particulate sensor (4) into the exhaust pipe and tighten it to 50 (37 lb ft), use a suitable tool.
- Fix the exhaust particulate sensor wiring harness to the wiring harness clip (1) and the mount wire tie clip (2).
- Install 2 NEW tie-strap clips (2, 3) and a NEW taped on edge clip at the marked locations, to rejoin the two sensor wires together.
- Install the 2 tie-strap clips to the brake lines and the taped on edge clip to the floor panel tunnel edge.
- Install the push nut tie clip (1) on the NOX sensor wire to the stud protruding from the exhaust heat shield.
- Install the exhaust particulate sensor module (1) to the bracket (2).
- Install the 2 exhaust particulate sensor module nuts (7) and tighten to 9 (80 lb in).
