(Note: some replacement sensors have a universal electrical connector that must be configured to the wiring of the old sensor.)Step 5 - Use a small wire brush to help clean the threaded port to ensure a proper seal of the new sensor. Gently install the new oxygen sensor by hand while keeping the wiring and connector free from bends.Step 6 - Gently tighten the sensor while keeping wiring free from damage, these sensors need to be fairly snug to avoid leakage.Step 7 - Once the sensor is tightened, reinstall any heat shields or bracing that had to be removed.Step 8 - After the heat shield has been reinstalled, mount the connector to it's holder and reattach the connector back onto the wiring harne. If the car has diagnostic trouble codes, they will need to be cleared.
