: Bolts
- Install the exhaust gas temperature sensor probes (A).CAUTION:
- Be careful when applying anti-seize lubricant to sensor threads.
- Do not allow anti-seize lubricant to contact the end of a sensor. Anti-seize lubricant may possibly affect sensor operation.
- Do not bend probes during installation. If probes are bent, the life of the probe may be shortened and there is a possibility of incorrect sensor readings. Replace bent probes.
- To avoid possible after treatment system damage, ensure the temperature sensors are connected to the proper locations.
NOTE: Apply a coating of anti-seize compound to the sensor threads prior to assembly. - Tighten the nut that secures the sensor.
- Install the clamps using bolts (A) to secure the exhaust gas temperature sensor probe wires to the sensor table or canister.NOTE: Make sure the exhaust gas temperature sensor probe wires are properly secured, so that they do not come in contact with hot components.
