REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Refer to Vehicle Lifting Caution in Service Precautions.




1. Raise the vehicle.

NOTE: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice in Service Precautions.

2. Disconnect the connector (1) for the HO2S.

NOTE: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Notice in Service Precautions.

3. Remove the HO2S (2) using a J 39194-B.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an engine and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.




1. Coat the threads of the oxygen sensor with anti-seize compound GM P/N 5613695, if necessary.

NOTE: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Notice in Service Precautions.

2. Install the HO2S (2) using a J 39194-B.

Tighten
Tighten the sensor to 42 N.m (31 lb ft).

3. Connect the HO2S harness connector (1).
4. Lower the vehicle.
