Removal Procedure

Notice: Remove oxygen sensors with the engine temperature above 48°C (120°F). Otherwise the oxygen sensors may be difficult to remove.

Notice: Take care when handling oxygen sensors. The electrical connector and louvered end must be kept free of contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents on the sensor. Do not drop or mishandle the sensor.

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the pre- or post-converter oxygen sensor connector.
3. Remove the pre- or post-converter oxygen sensor.

Installation Procedure
