HO2S 2

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 39194-B Heated Oxygen Sensor socket.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE (H02S2)
The heated oxygen sensor may be difficult to remove when engine temperature is below 48°C (120°F). Excessive force may damage threads in exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe.
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector.

IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the heated oxygen sensor threads. The compound consists of graphite suspended In fluid 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 already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed from an engine and if for any reason is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti seize compound applied before reinstallation.

4. Carefully back out the heated oxygen sensor, using a J 39194-B heated oxygen sensor socket.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (HO2S2)
1. Coat the threads of heated oxygen sensor/catalyst monitor with anti seize compound P/N 5613695, or equivalent if necessary.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

2. Install the Heated Oxygen Sensor, using a J 39194-B heated oxygen sensor socket.

Tighten
Tighten the HO2S 2 (Post catalytic converter) to 42 N.m (31 lb ft).

3. Connect the sensor electrical connector.
4. Lower the vehicle.
