WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the bank 2 heated oxygen sensor 2 harness connector (2) and disconnect from the retaining bracket.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove the left transmission mount just enough to gain access to the heated oxygen sensor. Refer to Automatic Transmission Mount Replacement - Rear in Automatic Transmission.
- Remove the heated oxygen sensor wiring harness bracket and bolt.
IMPORTANT:
Bank 2 are cylinders 2, 4, and 6 which are closest to the front of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Removal of the sensor is easier if the exhaust system is warmed up slightly. Be careful that it is not too hot to work on safely. Applying penetrating oil to the threads while moving the sensor back and forth will also aid in removal and will decrease the chance of exhaust pipe thread damage.
