Default Help Check Engine Light is on !!

I pulled CEL code 22 and 41 on h22a P13 ecu. Code 22 is VTEC Oil Pressure Switch defective circuit or unplugged / defective oil pressure switch. Code 41 is Primary Oxygen Sensor - Heater circuit malfunction. What is the best way to troubleshoot these 2 codes? Should i just replace the Vtec Oil pressure switch? or the oil pressure switch? or What should i do ? Please point me in the right direction. I am really poor right now and cant afford to take it to a shop. Thank you very much in advance.

you probably need a new o2 sensor, though it could have been a fluke.

reset the ecu and see if they come back (just unplug the black battery terminal for about 30 sec)

take the vtec solenoid off and clean it. If that doesnt fix the issue, you need to replace the sensor. The sensor may be a part of the solenoid tho so you may have to replace the whole thing.

yes. yes.

unbolt it and spray it with brake cleaner to make sure the screen is clean. Dry out and reinstall.

i'm just checking but do you have a dented oil pan? that can sometime cause problems with the oil pressure.
