Air Fuel Ratio Sensor and Heated Oxygen Sensor
CAUTION:

Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor and new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system
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 ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to
air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
