• Q: How to replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 on 2001 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: To replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2, take great care of the sensor, so as to avoid any falls, and to keep the in-line electrical connector and louvered end free from grease, dirt or any contaminants as such that one should not use cleaning solvents. However, do not repair any damaged wiring, connectors, or terminals; instead, replace oxygen sensor if any damage happens. Preserve integrity of external clean air reference by not repairing wires, connectors or terminals, which would impede air reference and reduce performance of sensors. Do not use contact cleaner on the sensor or the vehicle harness connectors, and do not have the sensor pigtail and harness wires exposed or bent, as they may cause performance problems. Do not disconnect the ground wire of the oxygen sensor if present as it could be the sole ground return for the sensor and make sure the peripheral seal of the vehicle harness connector is intact to ensure there is no water penetration. Packard's Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair should be used in cases of any required restoration without soldering in order to avoid the obstruction of air reference. While prying off the heated oxygen sensor, switch off the ignition, lift the vehicle, disconnect the sensor harness, and use the J 39194-B to gently pull out the sensor, which should not be hard only if the engine temperature is less than 48°C (120°). For installation, apply anti-seize compound GM P/N 5613695 to the threads of the heated oxygen sensor/catalyst monitor before to install HO2S 2 in tightening it to nuts 41 N.m (30 lb ft) the and then connect sensor electrical of it electrical connector and lower vehicle.
