one long flash is 10

10
IAT Sensor (Intake Air Temperature)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

one short flash is well 1

1
Oxygen Sensor "A" (Primary)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

Default Re: Check Engine Light came on again!!!

Mine goes off and on. It's giving code 61. So I thought of changing the primary 02 at first, but I consulted my friend who is a mechanic at a honda dealership to check for the wirings first. So I did that and cleard the wires from touching or grounding to the body then reset the ECU. After two months, it came on again with the same code.

So do you think it is my primary 02?

btw. got mods like header, axleback exhaust and shortram air.
