Question

Accepted Answer

Service and repair of the exhaust pipe requires the first step to be disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery. Use a screwdriver taping the tip for removal of the front door scuff plate RH, cowl side trim board RH, rear door scuff plate RH, and center pillar garnish lower RH. The service begins by taking out the right-hand side front seat assembly. When repairing the heated oxygen sensor you must first detach the clip with a clip remover while removing the floor carpet front as well as disconnecting the connector before removing the grommet to complete the removal task using Special Service Tool: 09224-00010. To take out the heated oxygen sensor you must disconnect the connector of the 4WD drive type before using the specified service tool. The exhaust pipe assembly tail needs its components removed through two bolts and two springs for 2WD drive type vehicles but requires bolt and clamp removal for 4WD drive type vehicles before removing the pipe and gasket. The floor panel front brace front can be removed by disconnecting its 2 nuts. For the 4WD drive model, you must first remove the exhaust pipe assembly center with its 2 bolts and 2 springs before proceeding with the floor panel brace front removal operation. Take off the exhaust pipe front from its installation point. Use vernier calipers to check the compression spring free length in the exhaust pipe front installation process and replace it if the reading falls below 41.5 mm (1.6339 inch). Use a new gasket on the exhaust manifold by tapping it until it is flush with the exhaust manifold before checking for proper installation and avoiding any reusage of removed gaskets. Fit the exhaust pipe front onto the two exhaust pipe supports at No. 4 while securing it with 2 compression springs and 2 bolts tightened to 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.). Reattach the floor panel brace front with 2 nuts which need tightening at 30 Nm (302 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.). During exhaust pipe assembly center work verify the compression spring free length reaches at least 38.5mm (1.5158 inch) otherwise perform a replacement. Apply a new gasket properly to the exhaust pipe front while avoiding the reuse of the previously removed gasket. The exhaust pipe front should be installed onto the 2 supports at position No. 4. Secure the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts with a torque setting of 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.). Check the free length of the compression spring on the exhaust pipe assembly tail for 2WD drive type vehicles to ensure it reaches at least 38.5 mm (1.5158 inch); if the length is insufficient replace it. The replacement gasket should be installed correctly on the exhaust pipe front while it is essential to avoid using the discarded gasket. The exhaust pipe tail must be installed onto exhaust pipe supports No. 4 while tightening both compression springs and bolts to 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.). For the 4WD drive type mount the tail pipe assembly with one bolt secured at 32 Nm (330 kgf-cm, 24 ft. lbs.). Specially designed tool number 09224-00010 will be used to install the heated oxygen sensor before torquing it to 44 Nm (450 kgf-cm, 33 ft. lbs.). Attach the heated oxygen sensor connector by verifying the sensor wire remains untwisted. The technician should tighten the battery negative terminal with 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.) torque before inspecting exhaust gas leakage and reinstalling the front seat assembly RH for 4WD drive vehicles.
