Default What the hell does this CEL mean?

This is on a 99 Prelude with a Greddy 18G turbo, I am just using the Greddy blue box for managment. I get this CEL as soon as I start the car up, I have no clue what is means:

41 - Primary Heated Oxygen Circuit
Detection Item: Circuit Malfunction
Probable Cause: Open or short in Primary HO2S sensor heater circuit ECM

Any ideas?

You need a new 02 sensor

Hmmm. Any idea why it would have gone bad? I have a 3" exhaust and high flow cat, and it has been smelling like **** lately.

if it were a code 45, i would think it was fat or lean,
being a heater circuit, i would go for the o2 being bad.

also could be the o2 sensor wiring.

check that, make sure it is in good condition all the way through,
and that it hasn't shorted out anywhere.

if you have a multimeter, you can just do a continuity test.
hook up one test lead to one end of the wire, and one to the other end.
if continuity is good, then you know the wire is solid all the way through.

in which case i'd guess it was the o2 sensor.
