CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage air fuel ratio sensor 1.
• Discard any air fuel ratio sensor 1 which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m
(19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten air fuel ratio sensor 1 to specification, if removed.
CAUTION:
• Do not over tighten air fuel ratio sensor 1. Doing so may cause damage to air fuel ratio sensor 1,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
• Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor 1, clean exhaust system threads using oxygen sensor
thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant.

REMOVAL (LH)
WARNING:
Perform the work when the exhaust and cooling system have cooled sufficiently.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
1. Remove air cleaner case (upper) and air duct and resonator assembly. Refer to EM-24, "Exploded View"
.
2. Partially drain engine coolant. Refer to CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant"
.
3. Remove three way catalyst (LH). Refer to EM-30, "Removal and Installation (Three Way Catalyst)"
.
4. Remove oil level gauge and oil level gauge guide. Refer to EM-34, "Exploded View"
.
5. Disconnect water hoses at heater pipe. Refer to CO-28, "Exploded View"
.
6. Remove heater pipe from cylinder head (LH). Refer to CO-28, "Exploded View"
.

NOTE:
Disregard the numerical order No. 7 and 8 in removal.
8. Remove exhaust manifold (LH).
9. Remove gaskets.
CAUTION:
Cover engine openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.
