Before installing a new air fuel
ratio sensor 1 and new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using heated oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool (Commercial Service Tool: J-43897-18
or J-43897-12) and apply anti-seize lubricant.
Do not over torque air fuel ra tio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sen sor 2. Doing so may cause damage
to air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
