2

1. Remove the Bank 1 HO2S 2.
2. Install the Exhaust Backpressure Tester

(BT-8515-V or equivalent) in place of the Bank 1
HO2S 2.

3. Run the engine at normal operating temperature.
4. Increase the engine speed to 2000 RPM and allow

10 seconds for pressure to build.

5. Observe the exhaust system backpressure reading

on the gauge.
