Particular caution needed when working on an oxygen sensor or air/fuel ratio sensor because the pigtail and electrical connector are always integrated; if they are damaged the sensor must be replaced. The electrical connector and the louvered end of the sensor must not be greased, must not accumulate dirt and other contaminants and only mild detergents must be used while cleaning these sensors. Furthermore, do not drop the sensors or handle them roughly, also make sure the blue silicone boot is properly fixed in place so it will not melt and so that the sensor works properly. For replacement, know that the nut on an oxygen sensor may seize up when the engine is cold, so one has to start the engine for a while. First of all ensure you have separated the wire from the negative terminal and then safely lifted the car on jackstands. The upstream oxygen sensor is mounted on top of the exhaust manifold and can be removed by pulling on the electrical connector and loosening the sensor with a unique socket and if the old sensor is being reinstalled the threads of the sensor bore should be cleaned and the sensor threads should be coated in anti seize compound and this obviously does not apply to new sensors. The downstream oxygen sensor procedure is the same to the upstream oxygen sensor that is on the left side of the top of catalytic converter, and that involves removing and disconnecting the electrical lead, removing the sensor, and then cleaning the threads of the sensor; if you are reusing the old sensor apply anti-seize compound before putting the sensor in. Lasty, add the downstream sensor and make sure that it is properly fixed by tightening it, proceeding in the reverse sequence.

Special care must be taken when servicing an oxygen sensor. The upstream sensor is located on top of the exhaust manifold for 2.4L four-cylinder engines and on top of the rear exhaust manifold for 3.3L/3.8L V6 engines. The downstream sensor is located on the side of the catalytic converter. The electrical lead should be traced and disconnected, and then the sensor can be unscrewed. The threads of the sensor bore should be cleaned and anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads if reusing the old sensor. The sensor should be installed and tightened securely. The installation process is the reverse of removal.

The oxygen sensor in a vehicle's exhaust system reacts with the oxygen to produce a voltage output that varies depending on the oxygen content. This feedback signal is used by the PCM to determine the required fuel injector pulse width and control the air/fuel ratio. The pre-converter oxygen sensor provides this feedback, while the post-converter sensor is used to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. The PCM operates in an open-loop fuel control mode until the sensor reaches its operating temperature of around 600 degrees F. The sensor requires good electrical connections, air circulation, correct operating temperature, and unleaded fuel to operate correctly. The PCM can detect sensor problems and set Diagnostic Trouble Codes. To replace the oxygen sensor, raise the vehicle, locate the sensor and disconnect the electrical connector, remove the sensor using a wrench or oxygen sensor socket, clean the threads, and apply anti-seize compound if reusing the old sensor. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Disconnect the oxygen sensor wire harness mounting clips, disconnect the oxygen sensor connector from the engine wiring harness, and remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe or catalytic converter. For V6 engines, raise the vehicle and disconnect the electrical lead from the oxygen sensor, then unscrew the sensor using a special oxygen sensor socket. Clean the threads of the sensor bore if reusing the old sensor, and apply anti-seize compound to the threads if necessary. Install the sensor and tighten it to the specified torque. For the 2.4L engine (2015 and later), trace the electrical lead from the upstream or downstream oxygen sensor to the electrical connector and disconnect it. Remove the wiring harness metal protector piece if equipped, then unscrew the sensor using a special oxygen sensor socket. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads if necessary, and install the sensor following the specified torque.

The pigtail and electrical connector of the sensor are permanently attached and cannot be removed without damaging the sensor. It is important to keep grease, dirt, and other contaminants away from the electrical connector and the louvered end of the sensor. Cleaning solvents should not be used on the sensor. Rough handling or dropping of the sensor should be avoided.

The post-converter oxygen sensor, although not used for air/fuel ratio control, is used by the PCM to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter.

For the 2.4L engine (2014 and earlier), the upstream sensor is located near the exhaust manifold, while on all other engines, the left and right upstream sensors are located at the top of the catalytic converters. The downstream sensors are located on the side of each catalytic converter.

The oxygen in the exhaust interacts with elements inside the oxygen sensor, generating a voltage output that ranges from 0.1 volt (indicating a high oxygen, lean mixture) to 0.9 volt (indicating a low oxygen, rich mixture).

To remove the emission maintenance timer, unplug the electrical connector, remove the screws, and lower the timer from the instrument panel. Installation is the reverse of removal.

The oxygen sensor needs good electrical connections, sufficient air supply, to reach the correct operating temperature, and to use unleaded fuel in order to operate correctly.

The PCM can detect oxygen sensor problems and set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to indicate specific faults.

For the throttle body temperature sensor, remove the air cleaner, disconnect throttle cables, remove the accelerator cable bracket, unplug the electrical connector from the sensor, remove the sensor, apply heat transfer compound, install the sensor securely, and reverse the steps for reinstallation.

The ideal ratio for minimum emissions and fuel economy is 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel.

When replacing the sensor, precautions should be taken to avoid damage or contamination. The sensor should be installed using anti-seize compound on the threads.
