• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

• Tools Required: Wire strippers, electrical tape, multimeter
• Inspect the oxygen sensor wiring harness for any frays or breaks.
• If damaged, splice in new wire and secure with electrical tape.
• Ensure all connections are tight and free of corrosion.

3. Replace the Oxygen Sensor

• Tools Required: Oxygen sensor socket, ratchet, torque wrench
• Locate the upstream oxygen sensor (usually near the exhaust manifold).
• Use the oxygen sensor socket to unscrew the old sensor from the exhaust pipe.
