alright i used the CHECKING CEL pin up on here..thank god that was helpful!

it gave me code 61...(6 long flashes followed by one short one)

it means:
Oxygen Sensor, Heated - Sensor 1 (Primary) high voltage, low voltage, or slow response

so is that saying that my oxygen is too hot? or what exactly does this mean? you think i should be fine to drive it (1800miles) or should I have this looked at AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?!

thanks
Kyle

does the light come on every time you drive? or only once in a while, cause if its kinda random, it could have just gotten a bad reading once and inothing to be too worried about.

im not too sure about obd2 cars(yours) and how much the o2 sensors effect driving, but i know that i could get away with running on a bad o2 sensor on my car for a little while

edit> this is car related, im moving it to the prelude section.

ebpda9 · 07-10-2005, 03:29 PM

well if the car gets that code it means that there is either a poor connection or a bad o2 sensor. without the o2 sensor the car will default to the maps in the ecu.

it probably fluked, just reset the ecu and i bet 5 bucks it goes away. samething happened to me and my shit box of an OD2 car.

Grip72 · 07-10-2005, 03:36 PM

it comes on all the time now

should i keep driving it or what should i do? i really don't know if i should risk driving it 1800miles with that code running

p.s. how do u reset the ecu and will that cause any problems?

ps.s.s (and nope, i can't find my manual book)

im driving to go golfing on my bad o2 sensor, the CEL light comes on once in awhile then goes away. just get a new sensor.

dis connect the battery for 15 secs.

*ChrisCantSkate* · 07-10-2005, 04:17 PM

or pull the clock/radio fuse.

Grip72 · 07-10-2005, 04:23 PM

i got the ECU to reset = the cel is no longer showing

but i don't want to fry/wreck something on this long trip!

AkimboStylee · 07-10-2005, 09:49 PM

if it doesn't show then take it an auto parts store, more than likely they will do a free diagnostics check for you

IALuder · 07-10-2005, 10:04 PM

1994 was the switch.

ebpda9 · 07-10-2005, 11:52 PM

the switch was made in 96 for accord and civics. why would they be different for the ludes ?

IALuder · 07-11-2005, 04:10 AM

i dont know. it was i was told.

*ChrisCantSkate* · 07-14-2005, 09:07 AM

well 1 o2 sensor=obd1 2=obd2.
