How Do I Replace a 2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS Oxygen Sensor

The oxygen sensors in the 2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS are threaded into the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe near the catalytic converter. When an oxygen sensor malfunctions, your car will burn a significant amount of additional fuel. To save the unnecessary fuel expense and possible long-term engine damage, you should replace the sensors as soon as possible. Buy sensors for your Sonata from an auto-parts store or Hyundai dealer.

Instructions

1

Raise the Sonata with a jack. Rest the car on jack stands for stability.

2

Locate the oxygen sensor either on the manifold or near the catalytic converter, depending on which one you need to change. Pull the wiring connection apart. Remove the oxygen sensor using a wrench.

3

Coat the threads of the sensor with anti-seize. Select an anti-seize compound designed for electrical components. Insert the new sensor by hand. Torque it to 40 foot-pounds with your torque wrench.

4

Push the two ends of the wiring harness together. The connector will click when it is attached. Repeat the replacement process on the second oxygen sensor if necessary. Lift the car slightly and pull the jack stands out of place. Lower the car to the ground.
