• Q: How to service the Bank 2 Sensor 2 oxygen sensor on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: When servicing bank 2 sensor 2 you should handle the heated Oxygen Sensor with caution to protect the permanently attached pigtail and connector because damage to these components can affect sensor operation. The in-line connector and louvered end must stay clear of contaminants while cleaning solutions must not be used on them. The Oxygen Sensor requires replacement when the wiring pigtail or connector exhibits damage because external air reference must flow through the sensor wires for correct operation. Heated Oxygen Sensor removal becomes difficult to perform when engine temperatures are below 48°c (120°F) while heavy force can damage Exhaust Manifold or pipe threading. Better access to the exhaust system requires a possible system height reduction. Horizontially lift the vehicle and detach the ho2s electrical connector before you slowly remove the heated Oxygen Sensor. The installation process requires application of p/n 5613695 anti-seize compound on heated Oxygen Sensor threads to ease future uninstallation procedures before sensor installation with 41 n.m (30 lb ft) torque. After completing the installation reconnect the ho2s electrical connector before lowering the vehicle back down.
