Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.

2. Remove the Oxygen Sensor

  • Tools Required: Oxygen sensor socket, ratchet, and extension.

  • Inspect the sensor threads for damage and clean the mounting hole.

3. Install the New Oxygen Sensor

  • Parts Required: New upstream oxygen sensor.
  • Apply anti-seize compound (if not pre-applied) to the threads of the new oxygen sensor.
  • Carefully thread the new oxygen sensor into the exhaust manifold by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  • Tighten to manufacturer's specifications (typically around 30-40 ft-lbs) using the ratchet and oxygen sensor socket.

4. Reconnect Electrical Connections

  • Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure.
  • Reconnect the wiring harness to the new oxygen sensor.
  • Double-check for any loose or damaged wiring.

5. Reconnect the Battery

  • Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery after all repairs are complete.

6. Clear Error Codes

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner.
  • Use the scanner to clear the P0130 code from the vehicle's computer.
