Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
- Install the HO2S (2).
Tighten: Tighten the sensor to 42 N.m (31 lb ft).
- Connect the HO2S electrical connector (1) to the engine wiring harness electrical connector (2).
- Install the CPA retainer (9).
- Lower the vehicle.
NOTE:
A special anti-seize compound is used on 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 be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
CAUTION:
Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution
