- Tool number: --- (J-43897-12)
- Tool number: --- (J-43897-18)
CAUTION:
- Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
- Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean the exhaust tube threads using commercial service tool and approved anti-seize lubricant.
- Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; install a new one.
- Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the MIL coming on.
- If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the mounting insulator, clean and inspect them.
- Temporarily tighten the mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the mounting bolts on the vehicle side. Check each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specification.
