  4. REPLACE A/F SENSOR 1 

    Replace malfunctioning A/F sensor 1. Refer to Exploded View .

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any A/F sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
    • Before installing new A/F sensor, clean exhaust system threads.
