• Q: How to service the Heated Oxygen Sensor for Bank 1 Sensor 1 on 2006 Scion xA?

  A: The first step for servicing the Heated Oxygen Sensor for Bank 1 Sensor 1 includes disconnecting the negative battery cable followed by a 90-second wait prior to servicing to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. Perform heated oxygen sensor servicing by using Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 to remove the sensor after disconnecting its sensor connector. The sensor must be installed with Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 according to the installation specifications which require a 44 N.m (449 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf) torque when using the tool or 40 N.m (408 kgf.cm, 30 ft.lbf). Utilize a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.). The sensor connector should be connected first before reconnecting the cable to the negative battery terminal and system initialization must be done due to post-battery-disconnect requirements. The last check involves leak testing for exhaust gases while tightening problem areas to prevent leaks. At the same time replace any broken parts.
