Hey guys,

Sorry I don't post on here much. My wife drives a 2005 Accord and I occasionally look here for answers.

Check engine light is saying a bad downstream O2 sensor. It's cali emissions and the dang thing is $130 bucks. Does anybody know if a non-cali sensor will work?? It's about half the price of the cali sensor.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

what is a non California sensor? all cars sold THESE DAYS are 50 state legal

Sorry ms. Should have been more clear. Non meaning no California emissions. I thought all cars have this these days but there is an option with sensors. With or without Cali emissions. Will it matter if I use one for "without Cali emissions"??

I still think they are all the same. the only difference would probably be a "universal" O2 sensor. Stay away from those,there is no such thing, make sure to buy the model specific sensor you are after.

They are all the same but deff don't use a universal. Stock one is made to plug and play and universal you will find yourself cutting and splicing most likely.
