Heated Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Sensor 2

Special Tools

J 39194-B Heated Oxygen Sensor Wrench

Removal Procedure

Caution: Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Caution (Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Caution).

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




1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Service and Repair).
2. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector (2) from the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1).





Caution: Refer to Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution (Excessive Force and Oxygen Sensor Caution).

3. Remove the HO2S (2). Use the J 39194-B , if required.

Installation Procedure

Note: A special anti-seize compound is used 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 reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with the anti-seize compound P/N 12377953, or equivalent.

Caution: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution (Component Fastener Tightening Caution).

2. Install the HO2S (2). Use the J 39194-B , if required.

Tighten the HO2S to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).




3. Connect the HO2S electrical connector (2) to the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1).
4. Lower the vehicle.
