Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
A special anti-seize compound is used in the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
- If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
- Install the HO2S (1) to the exhaust manifold and tighten to 42 N.m (31 lb ft).
- Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the HO2S electrical connector (9).
- Install the HO2S electrical connector retainer to the harness clip (7).
- Install the CPA retainer.
