How to Replace a Toyota Camry Oxygen Sensor

How to Replace a Toyota Camry Oxygen Sensor

If the gas mileage for your Camry has plummeted and the check engine light has recently turned on, there's a chance that your one or more of the oxygen sensors may need to be replaced. These sensors are on the exhaust manifolds, making them accessible from the top of the car, and can be swapped out with new models within 30 minutes. In this case, the project vehicle is a 2006 Toyota Camry, but the process is similar for other vehicles as well.

Difficulty:
Easy

Instructions

things you'll need:

  • Oxygen sensor wrench
  • Replacement oxygen sensor
  • Anti-seize compound
    • 1

      Pop the hood and locate the oxygen sensor on the exhaust manifold. The exhaust manifold leads to the exhaust, and the oxygen sensor is the only thing on the exhaust with wires leading out of it. Unplug the harness from the oxygen sensor using your hands.

      Use the oxygen sensor wrench to remove the sensor from the exhaust manifold. Discard the old sensor, as it won't be reused.

    • 3

      Put a thin coat of the anti-seize compound onto the threads of the replacement sensor, taking care not to get anything on the sensor itself.

    • 4

      Install the replacement sensor on the exhaust manifold with the oxygen sensor wrench, then plug the sensor into the stock wiring.
