Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Remove the Upstream Oxygen Sensor

  • Locate the upstream oxygen sensor, usually positioned in the exhaust manifold or just after the catalytic converter.
  • Use an oxygen sensor socket to carefully unscrew the sensor from its mounting point.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.

3. Inspect and Clean

  • Inspect the sensor’s threads for carbon buildup or damage; clean with a wire brush if necessary.
  • Check the electrical connector for corrosion or damage; clean contacts with electrical cleaner if needed.

4. Install New Oxygen Sensor

  • Install the new oxygen sensor by threading it into the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter.
  • Tighten the sensor to the manufacturer's specifications (typically 30-40 ft-lbs).
  • Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

5. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes

  • Reconnect the battery terminals.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0134 code from the vehicle's computer.
