How to service and repair the exhaust pipe on 2006 Toyota Matrix?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service and repair of the exhaust pipe starts with disconnecting the battery's negative terminal. A screwdriver with taped tip should be used to remove the front door scuff plate RH and the cowl side trim board RH along with the rear door scuff plate RH and the center pillar garnish lower RH. The engineer should proceed by removing the right-hand side front seat assembly. When servicing the heated oxygen sensor on 2WD vehicles operators should first detach the clip using a clip remover tool before pulling off the floor carpet front and disconnecting the connector and removing the grommet. The sensor requires Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 to finish its removal. The heated oxygen sensor connector needs removal for 4WD model vehicles followed by utilization of Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 to extract the sensor. The 2WD exhaust pipe assembly tail requires removal of its 2 bolts and 2 springs but the 4WD requires a bolt and clamp removal before proceeding to remove the tail pipe and gasket. The procedure requires the removal of both exhaust pipe assembly center components on 4WD using 2 bolts and 2 springs and the floor panel brace front components on 2WD by taking out 2 nuts. Next remove the exhaust pipe front and verify the compression spring's length using vernier calipers which should be 41.5 mm (1.6339 inch) before installing a new gasket between the exhaust manifold. Installation must proceed with the gasket facing the correct direction yet avoid using the old gasket. The exhaust pipe front should be installed onto the 2 exhaust pipe supports No. 4 by tightening the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts until they reach 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.). Free the compression spring length in the exhaust pipe assembly center of the 4WD unit to reach at least 38.5 mm (1.5158 inch) before applying a new gasket. Secure the exhaust pipe front onto its position at the 2 exhaust pipe supports No. 4 through proper tightening of the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts with 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.) torque. Begin the exhaust pipe support assembly tail on 2WD by measuring the compression spring free length which needs to be at least 38.5 mm (1.5158 inch). After that, install the tail along with a new gasket onto the 3 exhaust pipe supports No. 4 and properly tighten the two compression springs and two bolts to 43 Nm (440 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.). The 4WD tail pipe assembly installation requires torque application on a bolt to 32 Nm (330 kgf-cm, 24 ft. lbs.). The heated oxygen sensor installation process requires Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 to secure the sensor at 44 Nm (450 kgf-cm, 33 ft. lbs.) while connecting the sensor connector without wire distortion. Check for exhaust gas leakage while reattaching the negative battery terminal using a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). After which, install the front seat assembly RH on 4WD.
