3. Disconnect the pigtail from the wiring harness.
060RY00128
IMPORTANT:The pigtail is permanently attached to
the sensor. Be careful not to pull the wires out.
NOTE: Do not use a torch to remove an HO2S unless the
sensor is being replaced. Using a torch could damage the
sensor.
4. Remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe.
Because of the expansion and contraction of the
metal in the exhaust system over time, this may be
difficult if the engine temperature is below 48C
(120F).
060RY00128
Inspection Procedure
All four sensors are identical. Inspect each in the same
way.
1. Inspect the pigtail and the electrical connector for
grease, dirt, corrosion, and bare wires or worn
insulation.
2. Inspect the louvered end of the sensor for grease,
dirt, or other contaminations.
060RY00128
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
There is a special anti-seize compound 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 N´m (40 lb ft.).

3. Connect the pigtail to the wiring harness.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
Removal and Installation Procedure
Refer to Warning light bulb, indicator light valve,
illumination light bulb, A/T indicator light bulb in Meter and
Gauge.
Reduced Power Lamp
The reduced power lamp (RPL) turns on when the ignition
key is moved to the ON position. It should turn off in
approximately 3 seconds or immediately after the engine
starts.
If the RPL turns on during vehicle operation, a vehicle
system failure resulting in reduced engine output is
indicated.
If both the reduced RPL and the check engine light turn
on, a serious problem affecting vehicle performance is
indicated.
Refer to the
OBD system check NO and RPL ªONº steady
in this manual.
Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)
Service Precaution
NOTE: To p r e ve n t p ossible electrostatic discharge
damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector pins or
soldered components on the circuit board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Damage
Electronic components used in the control systems are
often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of static
electricity can cause damage to some electronic
components. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000
volts for a person to even feel the zap of a static
discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically
charged. The most common methods of charging are by
friction and by induction. An example of charging by
friction is a person sliding across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well
insulated shoes stands near a highly charged object and
momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same
polarity are drained off leaving the person highly charged
with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause
damage, therefore, it is important to use care when
handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible Electrostatic Discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins or
soldered components on the control module circuit
board.Do not open the replacement part package until the
part is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package, ground
the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across the
seat, or while sitting down from a standing position, or
while walking a distance, touch a known good ground
before installing the part.
NOTE: To prevent internal PCM damage, the ignition
must be in the ªOFFº position in order to disconnect or
reconnect power to the PCM (for example: battery cable,
PCM pigtail, PCM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
IMPORTANT:When replacing the production PCM
with a service PCM, it is important to transfer the
broadcast code and production PCM number to the
service PCM label. This will allow positive identification of
PCM parts throughout the service life of the vehicle. Do
not record this information on the metal PCM cover.
IMPORTANT:The ignition should always be in the
ªOFFº position in order to install or remove the PCM
connectors.
Service of the PCM should normally consist of either re-
placement of the PCM or EEPROM programming. If the
diagnostic procedures call for the PCM to be replaced,
the PCM should be checked first to ensure it is the correct
part. If it is, remove the faulty PCM and install the new
service PCM.
The service PCM EEPROM will not be programmed.
DTC P0601 indicates the check sum error.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Block the wheels.
3. Remove the two screws from the PCM electrical
connectors.
4. Disconnect the PCM electrical connectors.
