Install the new BoschHomeAppliances sensor hand-tight plus 1-2 turns, then reconnect.
Post-install, clear codes and test drive. Regular checks every 60,000 miles prevent failures. Pair with other Sensors for comprehensive diagnostics. BoschHomeAppliances sensors typically last 100,000 miles or more with proper care.
