My o2 sensor needs to be replace and I dont have the money right now to fix it. the cars obd2 and i took the sensor off(its the one connected to the cat converter).

How would I turn off the check engine light off without replacing my 02 sensor? can I just take out the light bulb?

thanks

 

just leave it there unless you want to take the time to take out the bulb

 

Taking off the light bulb is one way. Actually it's the only way (if you use a scanner, the light will just come back on in 15 mins of driving).

Why not just deal with the light until you fix the sensor? It'll be a reminder for you to get it done asap.

 

Leave light and fix it when you get the $60

 

I would consider getting a used sensor atleast. I mean you already took the time to get under there and disconnect it. A friend or a junk yard maybe?

 

Can't be THAT BAD with the light... I mean, think about it. You might forget that you even have a bad sensor and you'll be all lost as to why the hell your gas mileage is all crappy and ****. Yenno?

The check engine light on is another way of your car telling you how much it hates you for not taking better care of it....... jk

 

Hahaha

 

i just pulled the bulb when i changed clusters...if you wanna pull the bulb do it it takes no more than 5 minutes total but the fact of knowing that the CEL is there will never leave your mind so either way youre pretty much screwed

 

^He's right..... ya kno.

 

Thats why i wouldnt pull the bulb. I pulled my ABS light tho.
