WHERE WOULD I PLACE AN OXYGEN SENSOR THAT PLACE

Welcome to FIxYa.com

The upstream oxygen sensor is typically found on the exhaust manifold that is bolted to the engine block. It may be as far up on the exhaust as the the manifold piping located in the front of the engine under the hood. The sensor looks like a plug sticking out of the exhaust piping and will be the only plug inserted into the exhaust system.

Important:

Removal of the oxygen sensor is easier when the engine temperature is above 48CC

(120T).

' Handle the oxygen sensors carefully in order to prevent damage to the component.

Keep the electrical connector and the louvered end free of contaminants. Do not use

cleaning solvents on the sensor. Do not drop or mishandle the sensor.

REMOVAL

Numbers in ten in parenthesis correspond to numbered components in image.

1. Raise and support the vehicle.

2. Disconnect the sensor harness connector.

3. Remove the oxygen sensor.

Bank 1 Sensor 2(1)

Bank 1 Sensor 1(2)

A Bank2Sensorl(3)

A Bank2Sensor2(4)

INSTALLATION

Important: A special anti-seize compound is used on the oxygen sensot threads. The new

service sensors should have the compound already applied to the threads. Coat the

threads of a reused sensor with anti-seize compound P.N 5613695 or the equivalent.

1. Install the oxygen sensor.

Bank 1 Sensor 2(1)

A Bank sensor (2)

A Bank2Sensorl (3)

A Bank2Sensor2 (4)

Important: Make sure that all of the harness retaining clips are intact. The harness

must not contact any of the hot exhaust components. The HO2S pigtail has white

tape at the intervals, indicating the proper location of each retaining clip. When

connecting the sensor pigtail to the harness, ensure that the connector seal is

crushed uniformly all the way around between the connectors.

2. Connect the sensor harness connector.

3. Lower the vehicle

I hve a round red light on in dash, can you tell

If the red light looks like a radiator then the coolant is low, temperature sensor is defective, or the system is overheating. It is red so that means STOP so it is going to be something serious like oil pressure, or temperature. Is it just a round red light?
