Heated Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Sensor 2

Heated Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Sensor 2

Removal Procedure

Caution: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution (Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution).




1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Service and Repair).
2. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) retainer (1).
3. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector (3).
4. Remove the HO2S electrical connector clip from the heat shield.




5. Remove the HO2S from the catalytic converter.

Installation Procedure

Note: A special anti-seize compound is use on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burns 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 exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.




1. If re-installing the old sensor, coat the threads with the anti-seize compound P/N 12377953, or equivalent.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (Fastener Caution).

2. Install the HO2S to the catalytic converter.

Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).




3. Connect the HO2S electrical connector (3).
4. Install the CPA retainer (1).
5. Install the HO2S electrical connector clip to the heat shield.
6. Lower the vehicle.
