Got code :(
CEL came on after header install. Took it to Advance Auto and it came out with P0141, 'Heater sensor malfunction." I did a search and the second 02 sensor was mentioned, are they related?
|
The service manual says...
"secondary heated oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction" You sure the o2 plug is in? The sensor is screwed in all the way? |
Hmm, I rechecked the first sensor this morning and it was in all the way. The secondary sensor was never removed...it is dark outside, but I am going to try and see if it came lose somehow.
|
the secondary o2 sensor is in the middle of the cat. shouldnt have been touched from a header install, but they may have knocked the wiring. worst case scenario is replacing the o2 sensor which is about $80-100 and 5 minutes of your time.
|
do a bulbectomy! you will never have to worry about a CEL again.
|
lol it's all good. Thanks guys, the secondary o2 sensor wasn't removed, but it was a little loose. I went under and noticed there was some play in the wire, I reached up and pushed the clip in all the way. I reconnected the fuse and the battery and the CEL went off.
I am going to redo the install using lock washers to make sure everything is tight. |
Sorry to raise the dead post here, but I've had the CEL on since I had my XS Headers put on in FEB '07. I know, I know... I'm terrible but I had my reasons.
This weekend I finally put on a new O2 sensor but lo and behold I still had my CEL on. I borrowed my buddy's OBDII scanner and pulled the famous P0141 even with the new sensor. Can you guys give me a basic rundown of connections and things to check? I am not super mechanically inclined, so use layman's terms here please. Also I never touched the second O2 sensor, should I still check connections? Thanks in advance! |
No advice guys?
|
Im new to CLs (but Ive played around with my fair share of Hondas/Acuras), and whenever I got a CEL and fixed the problem, I've always reset the ECU.
|
thanks man, but I've tried reseting with the scanner and by unplugging the battery.
