Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.
  • Allow the engine to cool completely before proceeding.

2. Remove the Oxygen Sensor

  • Locate the oxygen sensor (usually near the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter).
  • Use a socket wrench to carefully unscrew the oxygen sensor from its port.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.

3. Inspect and Replace

  • Inspect the old oxygen sensor for signs of damage or excessive carbon buildup.
  • If the sensor is faulty, install the new oxygen sensor by reversing the removal steps:
    • Connect the electrical connector to the new sensor.
    • Screw in the new oxygen sensor using the correct torque specification (typically 30-40 Nm).

4. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes

  • Reconnect the battery terminals.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the error codes from the vehicle’s memory.

5. Test Drive

  • Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
  • Take the vehicle for a test drive to ensure that the check engine light does not reappear and to confirm the repair was successful.
