Default Throwing a o2 code? Try this first.

Had a check engine light for the primary o2 sensor (number 61). Before replacing it I took it out and hosed it down with brake parts cleaner. Popped it back in pulled the negative battery terminal. It knocked the CEL out. I'd recommend everyone give it a whirl before they spend 60+ on a o2 sensor.

**EDIT** I also drove it for a few days. I thought that should be assumed.

of course resetting the ecu will clear the code for the time being.
