Tool numbers : — (J-44626) : KV10117100 (J-36471-A)

CAUTION: • Be careful not to damage air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor.

• Discard any air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 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 one.

4. Remove the exhaust manifold cover (lower).

5. Remove the exhaust front tube. Refer to EX-6, "Removal and Installation".

6. Remove the exhaust manifold cover (upper).

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Surface Distortion

• Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flatness of exhaust manifold fitting surface.

Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in)

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tightening Exhaust Manifold Nuts

• Tighten the nuts to specification in the numerical order shown, on the exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly.

Installation of Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor 1

Clean the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 threads with the Tool, then apply the anti-seize lubricant to the threads before installing the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

Tool number : J-43897 - 18

: J-43897 - 12

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. Doing so may cause damage to the air fuel ratio (A/ F) sensor 1, resulting in a malfunction and the MIL coming on.
