1.

Remove following parts:
• Radiator core support covers (RH and LH), air duct (inlet), air cleaner case (upper) with mass air flow

sensor and air duct assembly: Refer to 

EM-31, "Exploded View"

.

• Engine cover: Refer to 

EM-29, "Exploded View"

.

• Front wiper arm: Refer to 

WW-134, "Exploded View"

.

• Extension cowl top: Refer to 

EXT-23, "Exploded View"

.

2.

Remove exhaust front tube. Refer to 

EX-5, "Exploded View"

.

3.

Disconnect harness connector and remove air fuel ratio sensor
1 on both banks with the heated oxygen sensor wrench [SST:
KV10117100 (J-3647-A)] (B).
• Put marks to identify installation positions of each air fuel ratio

sensor 1.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage air fuel ratio sensor 1.
• Discard any air fuel ratio sensor 1 which has been

dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor.
Replace with a new sensor.

NOTE:
Figure is shown as an example of bank 2 (A).

4.

Disconnect harness connector and remove heated oxygen sen-
sor 2 on both banks with the heated oxygen sensor wrench
[SST: KV10114400 (J-38365)] (B).

• Put marks to identify installation positions of each heated oxy-

gen sensor 2.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
• Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 which has been

dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor.
Replace with a new sensor.

5.

Remove exhaust manifold covers (bank 1 and bank 2).

6.

Remove three way catalyst support mounting bolts (bank 1 and bank 2).

7.

Remove three way catalysts by loosening bolts first and then removing nuts. (Stud bolt and flange bolt
type)

CAUTION:

Handle carefully to avoid any shock to three way catalyst.

• Tighten mounting nuts in numerical order as shown in the figure.

NOTE:
No. 7 and 8 mean double tightening of nuts No. 1 and 2.

Three Way Catalyst (bank 2) Flange Bolt Type 

1.

Temporarily tighten upper side bolts (B) and lower side bolt (A)
shown in the figure.

2.

Tighten the upper side bolts (B) shown in the figure. (specified
torque)

3.

Tighten all the lower side bolts [the other four except (B)]. (spec-
ified torque)

Three Way Catalyst Supports

1.

Temporarily tighten three way catalyst support mounting bolts.

2.

Tighten three way catalyst support mounting bolts to oil pan (upper).

3.

Tighten three way catalyst support mounting bolts to three way catalyst.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 and Heated Oxygen Sensor 2

• Install air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2 in the original position.
• Install referring the following if the installation positions cannot be

identified.

CAUTION:

• Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor and a new heated

oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using oxygen
sensor thread cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or
J-43897-12) and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial ser-
vice tool).

• Never over torque air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to air

fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor, resulting in “MIL” coming on.
