Oxygen Sensor: Installation
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Savana Special, 2003 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2003 GMC Savana, 2003 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2003 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Correct tightening of oxygen sensor is critical to prevent crushing glass beads in graphite anti-seize compound. Crushing glass beads will cause sensor to seize in exhaust manifold. This may necessitate replacement of exhaust manifold upon next removal.
- Whenever oxygen sensor is removed, coat threads with anti-seize compound before reinstallation. New oxygen sensors already have this compound applied to threads.
- Install oxygen sensor in exhaust pipe. Tighten oxygen sensor to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reconnect harness connector to oxygen sensor. Lower vehicle and test system.
