Upstream O2 Sensors
NOTE:
The upstream O2 sensors and connectors can be accessed from the top side of the engine.
WARNING:
The exhaust pipes and catalytic converter become very hot during engine operation. Allow the engine to cool before removing the oxygen sensor.
CAUTION:
When disconnecting the oxygen sensor electrical connector, do not pull directly on the wire going into the sensor. The sensor wiring can be damaged resulting in sensor failure.
- Disconnect the O2 sensor(s) electrical connectors located behind the cylinder head(s).
- Using the appropriate oxygen sensor removal/installation tool, remove the O2 sensor(s).
- Clean the threads in the exhaust pipe(s) using an appropriate tap.
