Removal Procedure

IMPORTANT:

The HO2S 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 a HO2S connector.

  1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
