HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) REPLACEMENT BANK 1 SENSOR 2

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 39194-B Heated Oxygen Sensor Wrench

REMOVAL PROCEDURE




1. Raise and support the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) may be difficult to remove when engine temperature is less than 48°C (120°F). Excessive force may damage the threads in the exhaust pipe.

2. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) retainer (2).
3. Disconnect the HO2S electrical connector (1).




4. Using the J 39194-B remove the HO2S (1).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Coat the threads of the HO2S 2 with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953 or an equivalent, if necessary.

NOTE: Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Resistance Learn Reset Notice in Service Precautions.

IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S 2 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 is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

2. Install the HO2S (1).

Use the J 39194-B to tighten the sensor to 41 N.m (30 lb ft).




3. Connect the H02S electrical connector (1).
4. Install the CPA retainer (2).
5. Lower the vehicle.
