Air Fuel Ratio Sensor
CAUTION:
Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor 1, clean exhaust system threads using oxygen sensor
thread cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply anti-seize lubricant
(commercial service tool).

4. Disconnect fuel feed hose on engine side as follows: (Perform
same procedure for the side of centralized under-floor piping as
well.)
a. Remove quick connector cap from quick connector connection.
b. Disconnect quick connector from fuel feed damper as follows:
CAUTION:
Disconnect quick connector by using quick connector release [SST: J-45488], not by picking out
retainer tabs (centralized under-floor piping side).
i. With the sleeve side of quick connector release facing to quick connector, install quick connector release
onto fuel tube.
ii. Insert quick connector release into quick connector until sleeve
contacts and goes no further. Hold quick connector release on
that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting quick connector release hard will not disconnect
quick connector. Hold quick connector release where it
contacts and goes no further.

damper.
CAUTION:
Pull quick connector holding “A” position as shown in
the figure.
Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.
Avoid fire and sparks.
Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around
them.
Do not expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.

interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.
Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
Insert fuel injector so that “protrusion B” of fuel tube matches
“cutout B” of clip.
Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fix-
ing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
