CAUTION:
I
Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling.
I
With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
I
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
I
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
I
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean
exhaust system threads using heated oxygen sensor
thread cleaner tool, J-43897-18 or J-43897-12, and apply
anti-seize lubricant.
I
Do not overtorque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so
may cause damage to the heated oxygen sensor, resuiting
in the MIL coming on.
