PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Removing Battery Terminal
- When removing the 12V battery terminal, turn OFF the ignition switch and wait at least 30 seconds.
ℹ️ NOTE: ECU may be active for several tens of seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal is removed before ECU stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may occur.
- For vehicles with 2 batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch.
ℹ️ NOTE: If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of the main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be detected.
- After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.
ℹ️ NOTE: The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.
Diagram Description: A simple line drawing shows a car battery with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals, and a cable connected to the negative terminal.
Removal and Installation
⚠️ CAUTION:
- Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.
- Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot just after engine stops.
- Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.

Removal and Installation Procedures
REMOVAL
- Disconnect each joint and mounting.
- Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 using the following procedure (2WD models):
- Using heated oxygen sensor wrench [SST: KV10114400 (J-38365)] (A), remove heated oxygen sensor 2 (1).
⚠️ CAUTION: Never damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
- Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
⚠️ CAUTION: Always replace seal bearings with new ones when reassembling.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows the process of removing a heated oxygen sensor from an exhaust pipe using a specialized wrench.
Detailed Installation Steps and Precautions
- Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor. Use a new one.
- Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust system threads using the heated oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12] and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
- Never over-torque heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen sensor 2, resulting in the "MIL” coming on.
- Prevent rust preventives from adhering to the sensor body.
- If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat insulator, remove them.
- When installing heat insulator, avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each exhaust pipe.
- Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid gas leakage.
- When installing each mounting rubber, use silicon oil to avoid twisting.
- Temporarily tighten mounting nuts and bolts. Check each part for unusual interference and mounting rubber interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
- When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down, front/rear and right/left directions.
- Install seal bearing according to the following instructions.
⚠️ CAUTION: The structure of seal bearing depends on the mounting portion. When installing seal bearings, be careful not to install the wrong one.
Seal Bearing Identification:
- A: Exhaust manifold side
- B: Mesh
- C: Exhaust front tube side
- D: Pawl (projection)
Diagram Description: Illustrations show the structure of a seal bearing with labels A, B, C, and D indicating different parts or sides. Another diagram shows the assembly of the exhaust manifold to the exhaust front tube.
Exhaust Manifold to Exhaust Front Tube Assembly
- Place a piece of wood (A) on seal bearing (2) and securely insert the seal bearing on the exhaust manifold (1) side, using a plastic hammer (B).
⚠️ CAUTION:
- Never damage the seal bearing surface during insertion.
- If seal bearing is inserted by hammering directly without using a piece of wood, the seal bearing is deformed and exhaust gas leaks. To insert seal bearing, always use a piece of wood and insert straight.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows a seal bearing being inserted into an exhaust manifold component using a piece of wood and a hammer.
- Check that seal bearing (1) is in absolute contact (C) with the flange (A). If there is clearance (B), insert seal bearing straight by hand to bring the seal bearing into absolute contact with the flange.
⚠️ CAUTION:
- Never use a tool for insertion.
- Never insert seal bearing by tightening exhaust front tube.
Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate checking the seal bearing's contact with a flange. One shows a gap (B), and another shows proper contact (C).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Inspection (After Installation)
