CAGS Install

i just installed my CAGS a minute ago while i had my car on the lift to do my exhaust...

well i installed it and then was just sittin around when i looked and it said the negative battery cable needed to be unplugged

i didnt do it cuz i didnt wanna let the car all the way back down
so i just installed it with the cable still connected
is this a problem???
i have always hear to unplug the negative cable when dealin with O2 sensors but i never have

im gonna do another CAGS on my dads car so do i need to unhook the neg cable this time???

thanks

Not really

While I always recommend proper procedures be followed...Butt that I am...........no problem..........It's a legal precaution so you don't get hurt tripping an airbag.

nope, I did mine w/o disconnecting the battery cable. I didn't want to have to reset the clock, radio, etc.

I skipped the battery disconnect as well. No big deal...I'm not sure, but I would doubt if there's any juice going to the CAGS when the car is shut down properly...
