1 Heated Oxygen Sensor 1

Procedure

  1. Remove the wiring harness from retainer clip.
  2. Disconnect electrical connector.
  3. After replacement of the heated oxygen sensor, use a scan tool to speed up learn functions. Refer to K20 Engine Control Module: Programming and Setup .
    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 burn 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 old sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .

  4. Perform the HO2S heater resistance learned values reset. HO2S Heater Resistance Learned Values Reset
