Installing

Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

• Replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.

• The threads of new oxygen sensors are coated with assembly paste; the paste must not get into slots of oxygen sensor body.

• When re-using the old oxygen sensor, grease the threads with hot bolt paste; the paste must not get into slots of oxygen sensor body; hot bolt paste.

• During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.

• Oxygen sensor wires must always be secured in the same position when installing so that contact with the exhaust pipe is avoided.

- Fasten the ATF lines.

• 01J automatic transmission.

• 01V automatic transmission. Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Automatic Transmission/Transaxle

- Install subframe.

- Install drive axle.

- Align engine free of tension.

- Align exhaust system free of tension. Refer to => [ Exhaust System, Aligning ] Procedures.
