Bank 1 (Left) Sensors

Bank 1 Sensor 2 Service:

CAUTION: Take care when handling the heated oxygen sensor. The in-line electrical connector and louvered end must be kept free of grease, dirt or other contaminants. Also, avoid using cleaning solvents of any type. Do not drop or roughly handle the heated oxygen sensor. A dropped sensor is a bad sensor.


REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The heated oxygen sensor may be difficult to remove when the engine temperature is below 48°C (120°F). Excessive force may damage the threads in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe. It may be necessary to lower the exhaust system to gain sufficient access to a HO2S and/or it's connector.

1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the HO2S electrical connector.
3. Carefully back out the heated oxygen sensor.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Important: A special anti-seize compound is used on the heated oxygen sensor 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 if for any reason is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.

1. Coat the threads of the heated oxygen sensor with anti-seize compound P/N 5613695, or equivalent if necessary.
2. Install the heated oxygen sensor.

Tighten
HO2S to 41 Nm (30 lb ft).

3. Connect the HO2S electrical connector.
4. Lower the vehicle.
