start four pan bolts at each corner before tightening
oil pickup tube. This will keep pan gasket in align-
ment.

O-ring. First tighten bolt at O-ring end of tube to 28
N´m (20 ft. lbs.). Tighten remain tube support fasten-
ers to 28 N´m (20 ft. lbs.).
(4) Install oil pan and tighten fasteners to 15 N´m
(11 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 95).
(5) Reconnect transmission oil cooler lines to oil
pan stud bolt.
(6) Install starter (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
STARTING/STARTER MOTOR - INSTALLATION).
(7) Install exhaust system Y-pipe.
(8) Install structural cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK/STRUCTURAL COVER - INSTAL-
LATION).
(9) Lower vehicle.
(10) Fill engine with proper amount of oil (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES -
SPECIFICATIONS).
(11) Connect negative cable to battery.
OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The 3±wire, solid-state engine oil pressure sensor
(sending unit) is located in an engine oil pressure
gallery.
OPERATION
The oil pressure sensor uses three circuits. They are:
²A 5±volt power supply from the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM)
²A sensor ground through the PCM's sensor
return
²
A signal to the PCM relating to engine oil pressure
The oil pressure sensor has a 3±wire electrical
function very much like the Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) sensor. Meaning different pressures
relate to different output voltages.
A 5±volt supply is sent to the sensor from the PCM
to power up the sensor. The sensor returns a voltage
signal back to the PCM relating to engine oil pres-
sure. This signal is then transferred (bussed) to the
instrument panel on either a CCD or PCI bus circuit
(depending on vehicle line) to operate the oil pressure
gauge and the check gauges lamp. Ground for the
sensor is provided by the PCM through a low-noise
sensor return.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove front splash shield.
(4) Disconnect oil pressure sender wire (Fig. 96).
(5) Remove the pressure sender (Fig. 96).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install oil pressure sender.
(2) Connect oil pressure sender wire.
(3) Install front splash shield.
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Connect the negative battery cable.

(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve
lubricant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
(3) Remove nuts from the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipe flange connection (Fig. 4).
(4) Loosen exhaust clamp from the catalytic con-
verter and muffler connection (Fig. 4).
(5) Disconnect oxygen sensor wiring (Fig. 4).
(6) Heat the catalytic converter to muffler connec-
tion with a torch until the metal becomes cherry red.
(7) While the metal is still cherry red, twist the
catalytic converter back and forth to separate it from
the exhaust pipe and the muffler (Fig. 5).
INSPECTION
Look at the stainless steel body of the converter,
inspect for bulging or other distortion that could be a
result of overheating. If the converter has a heat
shield attached make sure it is not bent or loose.If you suspect internal damage to the catalyst, tap-
ping the bottom of the catalyst with a rubber mallet
may indicate a damaged core.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the catalytic converter onto the
exhaust pipe flange connection (Fig. 4). Tighten the
nuts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Install the muffler onto the catalytic converter
until the alignment tab is inserted into the align-
ment slot.
(3) Install the exhaust clamp at the muffler and
catalytic converter connection (Fig. 4). Tighten the
clamp nuts to 47 N´m (35 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Connect oxygen sensor wiring (Fig. 4).
(5) Lower the vehicle.
(6) Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks
and exhaust system contact with the body panels.
Adjust the alignment, if needed.
