      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length
      • SST: 09224-00012 

      Specified tightening torque 

      Torque: 44 N*m (449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:

      If the heated oxygen sensor has been struck or dropped, replace it.

      HINT: 

      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

        Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2016 - ]

      • When using SST (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.18 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)):

        37.7 N*m (384 kgf*cm, 28 ft.*lbf)

    2. Install the wire harness clamp bracket to the heated oxygen sensor (for Bank 1).

      HINT: 

      Make sure the direction of the wire harness clamp bracket is as shown in the illustration.

  5. INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 EXHAUST PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Install 2 new gaskets to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
    2. Install the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly to the front exhaust pipe assembly and exhaust manifold (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.

      Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf) 

    3. Connect the heated oxygen sensor (for Bank 1) connector.
    4. Engage the 3 wire harness clamps.
  6. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst) 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.

      Standard Length 43.0 mm (1.69 in.)
      Minimum Free Length 41.5 mm (1.63 in.)

      If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.

    2. Temporarily install a new gasket to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
    3. Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.

      *1 Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly
      *2 Gasket
      *a Wooden Block
      NOTE:
      • Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
      • Do not reuse the gasket.
      • Do not damage the gasket.
      • Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipes when connecting them.
    4. Connect the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust pipe support.
    5. Install the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf) 

      HINT: 

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
