1995 Chevrolet Beretta L4-2.2L VIN 4SECTION Heated Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Repair
If the Heated Oxygen Sensor pigtail wiring, connector or terminal is damaged, the entire Oxygen Sensor Assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly, it must have provided to it a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the Oxygen Sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degraded Oxygen Sensor performance.
The following guidelines should be used when servicing the Heated Oxygen Sensor:
^ Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor Or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wire must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems.
^ Neither the sensor or vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire.
^ Do not remove or defeat the Oxygen Sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the senior. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance.
^ To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector.
The Engine Harness may be repaired using Packard's Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-k Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered since this could result in the air reference being obstructed.
GMSPO Standard Part Catalog
Check the GMSPO Standard Parts Catalog, Group 8.965.Fuses, circuit breakers, connectors, terminals, conduit, pigtail kits, and seals are listed in that group.
GMSPO Carline Part Catalog
The GMSPO Carline Parts Catalog, Group 2.535 contains connector repair kits with terminals and leads.
Complete Harness
Complete harnesses should only be ordered when there is major damage to the wiring harness. Minor damage should always be repaired. Complete harness part numbers can be found in the GMSPO Carline Parts Catalog.
Parts Ordering
1. If you can't find the repair parts you need in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit, GMSPO Standard Parts Catalog, or the GMSPO Carline Parts Catalog, refer to Section Connector View (Harness Connector Faces) to find a listing of the OE part number(s).
2. Call PARTECH (1-800-433-6961) and give the PARTECH advisor the OE part number(s). The PARTECH advisor can determine if there is a GMSPO part number(s) for the OH part number(s).
3. If PARTECH cannot find a GMSPO part number, call the Service Parts Assistance Center (SPAC) with the OE part number(s). The SPAC advisor will assist you in placing a priority order using the "No Part Number" process with the Packard Electric Division. The SPAC advisor may have you place the order with the Packard Electric Division (1-800-PACKARD). Parts are typically shipped within 24 hours direct to your dealership.
