I was trying to get a inspection sticker on this eclipse. The tech said that I had a sensor that was bad. Bank1 sensor2. I changed it out and drove over 100 miles since I did not have a code reader. The light never went out. The sensor I changed was the one in front of the engine. Should I have changed the one after the converter? If so, auto parts gave me the wrong info. Do I need to buy a code reader to clear the light? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
