Emissions system: P0159??

Just happened a couple minutes ago. I already planned on taking it to the exhaust shop Monday. But is this code specific or just the whole system?

Chances are its just an O2 sensor.

Save yourself some money pal, go to the dealer and buy a new sensor. Better yet, call the dealer and get the part # for the Bank 2 sensor 2 and order it online from wholesalepartsguy or acurapartswharehouse or whatever you choose and install yourself. Piece of cake! DONE! Im a mechanic, so you can trust me, never had a sensor not fix that code. The sensor gets crud built up in it like burnt oil/exhaust and everything else coming out of your motor and clogs it up. Easy fix. one wrench and a connector.

lol... If only that line worked at my shop we would never have to argue with the customers. I do agree it needs a sensor. As the sensor gets older it cant change voltage fast enough in relation to the changing oxygen content and the computer sets a code for slow response. You can trust me , I am a honda master technician FYI: bank 1 is in the back of the engine, sensor 2 is on the bottom, just after the cat. converter.
