Best Answer

The heated oxygen sensor is located on the exhaust forward of the catalytic converter and the catalytic converter sensor is located aft. Don't mix them up.

CAUTION: Disconnect both battery cables and allow metal to cool. Disconnecting both battery cables will reset computer settings.

Lift vehicle and support safely. A drive up lift or pit that allows standing is best.

The heated oxygen sensor connector is located above the transmission, best reached with the right hand, up the right-side, using a 3/16" straight-slot screwdriver to release the lock.

Then using special tool or crescent wrench, remove the sensor.

Apply high-temperature anti-seize to new sensor, install hand-tight, and a gentle, but firm wrench tight, will hold it.

Count tools.

Safely lower vehicle.

Reconnect battery, (+) positive first, then (-) negative.

Start and hold key to start position for 30 seconds.

Fill gas tank and drive 200 miles without shutting the engine off.
