TS22912

6E–295 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
A special anti-seize compound, P/N 5613695, is used
on the HO2S threads. This compound consists of
glass beads suspended in a liquid graphite solution.
The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the
glass beads will remain, making the sensor easier to
remove.
New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason, the
threads must have anti-seize compound applied.
1. Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the
threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Install the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe in its
original position.
Tighten
Tighten the oxygen sensor to 55 Nꞏm (40 lb in.).
