God bless your video and knowledge. I been running around for a year or better with check engine light on, with no cruise control or remote start. Checked fuses as you said and found a blown fuse. Put in a new one and had check engine light cleared and I'm up and going. For how long I don't know, but feel blessed. Thank you 😊

😆 happened to me when I sprayed the o2 sensor with WD40 specialist penetrating spray to get loosened up for replacement. Did also attempt to remove the plug and it wasn’t budging, but pushed it back. Ended up pulling over and running scanner. Deleted the code and drove off and it hasn’t returned since. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I got that code. Replaced the sensor. So far so good.

Was your vehicle driving differently?

[@ayushp.5395]

this code came up on my 2006 Honda CityZX Gxi i-DSi L15A3 engine because I was driving in very heavy rain and with lots of puddles for a while. a restart of the engine made it went away. something to look out for. the water splashing cooled the sensor down maybe?

[@51249ca]

Would that code cause a smelly exhaust at startup?

[@ChangedUpNowWhat]

Thanks man.

[@MrHerces18]

Will this code cause my car to shut off when I am at a stoplight or stop sign

[@HVAC_Mechanic]

The engine should still run. If a 02 sensor fails, the engine will be in what's called an open loop and be less responsive but should still run.

@@HVAC_Mechanic I have a car that is stalling on me when I idle, I’ve changed out the fuel pump, spark plugs, throttlebody O2 sensors and fill injectors which I sent back because they made everything worse

[@reckless87]

Having the same issue

[@jaronwinston6720]

​@@MrHerces18 have you gotten everything figured out what was causing the problem? I have the same problem

[@MrHerces18]

Found out it was the pcv valve is what need to be replaced stopped the problem

Where can I buy them parts

Great video! Thank you!

[@abramsantos8193]

Helo I got a low voltage to O2 sensor bank 2 any advise I'm thinking about changing it with another one? My car the rpms go up n down car feels like it want to die when stopping on a red light

[@HVAC_Mechanic]

The sensor will need to be tested to see if it has failed, as it may be in the wiring. A bad 02 sensor should not cause the engine to stall. The engine will not go into what is called a closed loop and be less responsive but should still run.

[@abramsantos8193]

@@HVAC_Mechanic okay thank you for the advice

[@Moffy1961]

Awesome, thank you. That was informative but fast! Hope you caught your train :)

[@RandySmith-v2c]

[@Heatherder]
