Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the downstream, or number 2 oxygen sensors on this Cadillac CTS, with a 2.8 liter. You'll need new oxygen sensors from 1AAuto.com, a 7/8"� wrench, and a jack and jack stands.
You'll want to lift your vehicle up, and there are arrows right on the side. That's where you'll want to place your jack, and then the jack stand to support it.
The right side is bank 2. The rear sensor, you can see here behind the catalytic converter. That would be bank 2, sensor 2, and then the front catalytic, or upstream catalytic would be bank 2, sensor one. Then, there is bank one, sensor two, and bank one, sensor one is the upstream.
If you want to replace one of the O2 sensors, you'll need to unplug it. They usually have a safety latch which you pull out, and then there's a tab that you push up and disconnect.
The downstream, or 2nd sensors on each side are pretty easy to reach with a 7/8 wrench, and you can see it just takes a good couple pulls, and then the sensor breaks loose. Twist it right out.
The new sensor will usually come with some anti-seize that you want to place on the threads,. Then twist it right in until it's seated. Then, use your 7/8"� wrench and tighten it up nice and firm. Then, just reconnect the harness, line it up, and make sure you push it in place until you hear the tab click on, and then set the safety pin as well.
