Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and OE part number before installation. This sensor uses a 5-terminal pin connection with a female connector and does not include housing or mounting hardware. For best results, inspect the intake tract for dirt, oil residue, or air leaks before replacing the sensor, and confirm the replacement matches the original Subaru application.
