EN-46577 Oxygen Sensor Remover/Installer

Removal Procedure




Warning: Refer to Battery Disconnect Warning (Battery Disconnect Warning).


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

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection (Service and Repair).
2. Disconnect the HO2S2 connector.
3. Install the EN-46577.
4. Remove the HO2S2 (1).

Installation Procedure





Note: A special anti-seize compound is used on the oxygen sensor threads. This compound consists of a liquid graphite 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 any engine and if for any reason it is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti seize compound applied before reinstallation.

1. Coat the threads of the HO2S2 with an anti-seize compound, if needed.
2. Install the HO2S2 (1) into the exhaust manifold.

Tighten the HO2S1 to 40 Nm (29.5 lb ft).

3. Connect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection (Service and Repair).
