    NO 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • If no problems were found with the circuits or connectors, Replace the O2 Sensor and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair " procedure.
CAUTION:
  • Install the component with the specified torques.
  • Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped or mis-treated.
CAUTION:
  • DO NOT use a cleaner, spray, or grease to sensing element and connector of the sensor because oil component in them may cause malfunction or affects on sensor performance.
