The wires are copper. Posted by saabsince 93b [Email] (#972) [Profile/Gallery] (more from saabsince 93b) on Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:06:50 In Reply to: P0134 Error code on 2004 9-5, three_jeeps, Mon, 24 Oct 2016 18:29:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Definitely copper. No aluminum wires in these cars.......never heard of it in any car.
I have done 4 of these j16 repairs. The last one in the 2000 Aero wagon I am restoring and I did it just to be sure it does not happen later.
The ground wires from both O2 sensors are joined together and one black wire comes out the other side and goes to the ECU connector. The joint is crimped with a brass crimp and then covered with a sealant like hot glue, and are in a heat shrink tube. The glue is probably in the tube before it is heated.
The theory is that in spite of all the sealing that the brass and the copper have a dissimilar metal corrosion problem. Remember that the max voltage in this system in 1 volt. So the connection has to be VERY good.
It is a simple repair if you know how to solder.
the connection is buried in the harness so you must remove the zip ties. Look for a black wire coming out one side to the ECU connector. the other end had a grey and a blue wire going in.
Solder it and use heat shrink tubing to seal it.
