Just need to know where they are and which is b1 and b2? That is all they told me when I had it scanned.
Do you

Good evening,

I attached a picture of the sensor locations for you to view and a guide to help walk you through the repairs with diagrams below to show you how on your car.

What are the codes? Rarely O2 sensor codes require replacement of the actual sensor.

Okay, you need catalytic converters. The precious metals are worn out in the converters. It is not the sensors at all, it is the catalytic converters.

I have had P0154 P0135 I have replaced those sensors with honda sensors. The check engine light is still on. I took it to a shop and they told me they could not find the problem. They tested the sensors and there in good condition they said the problem could be because there is no power to my oxtgen sensors. Is there a fuse Relay someplace that I can check? Or is there something else there can be checked?

Ok for code P0135 check these fuses. Fuse number 4 (af sensor) 15 amp in the fuse box under dash. Fuse number 19 40 amp in the fuse box under the hood. Fuse number 23 7.5 amp in fuse box under dash. This could also be what is causing the P0154 code too. Let me know what you find and we will go from there. Here is how you can change the sensor in the diagrams below.

Ok now I need you to unplug the mass air flow sensor and use the pic below to check ohms between term 3 and 4 on the sensor not the wiring harness. Is the ohms between 2.1 and 2.9? If not then replace the mass air flow meter.

Hi, ive been having problems with my 2006 honda accord ex. My check engine light went on and so I ran a test with an obd2 scanner and codes p1034 and code p2243 pooped up. I went to autozone and bought a bosch upstream bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor. I replaced the old sensor with this new sensor and unplugged the battery to reset the car. I ran the test again and only code p2243 popped up and I looked this code up and it said "Reference Voltage Circuit/Open (Bank 1 Sensor 1)" so my question is what is this? And how to I fix this? Please help. And thank you in advance.

You have an open circuit in the wiring somewhere. Check to make sure the wiring is good at the sensor, there is no corrosion.

There are two sensors. The air fuel ratio sensor is located at the A-pipe and the secondary oxygen sensor in the catalytic converter. It depends which code was stored. I would use oem parts.

My engine light came on and the Honda mechanic said that I needed both up stream oxygen sensors replaced and recommended a fuel injection service. He reset the engine light and hasn't come on again in 6 months. How much should I expect to pay to have both up stream oxygen sensors replaced can I do it myself?

Thanks

If the light hasn't come back on in that amount of time, chances are everything is working properly. As far as the sensors are concerned, they are about 80 dollars each and take about 20 minutes each to replace. However, as I mentioned, if the light has remained off, they should be fine. Here is a guide to help walk you through the repair with diagrams below to show you how on your car.

Hi,
I have 2003 Honda Accord V6. Recently my Check Engine light came up. On checking the code, it showed P2251/P0134 which are for Bank1 Sensor 1. I was able to locate this sensor as on the backside of the engine.
I tried to open it, but I ran into problem when the sensor cable which is plugged with a male/female coupling did not come out. There is verly little space to move your hand and it seems to be very tight.
Please suggest any tool or how I can take this out?
I even tried to pull the coupling for the front sensor 2, but that too was very tight and could not open.

Quick response is appreciated.

Thanks
Himanshu

Hi Himanshu,

Thank you for the donation.

There is no special tools for unplugging the terminal. The wireharness side has a locking tab that has to be pressed to release the lock before you can pull the connector off. Sometime sand or dirt gets between the tab rendering it impossible to release the lock.

I would use compressed air to blow out any foreign material before pressing the tab.
