I'm needing an inspection soon, and am running into some not so fun issues with my hondata ecu.

What I need to do is, swap my stock ecu in for inspection, but I throw a code for the secondary o2 sensor cause its not their.

I need a link to something I can buy to either trick the ecu into thinking its their, or some other method advice to get around NYS inspections (legally preferred :D)

Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

You can do one of two things, I've had success in the past with just hooking up the secondary O2 sensor and wrapping it in tinfoil, it allows the heater of the sensor to think its functioning, but it wont keep the code clear forever, just like 100-200 miles. Or you can make the defouler thingamabob.

 

your car won't pass the inspection with hondata ecu?

 

in NY, they hook up the ecu to their computer which sends info via modem to the dmv. my hondata ecu is obdI, and it expects to see OBDII. So it works til about half way, then locks up and is incomplete.

 

Cars that are 10 years old or less need to pass the test in NY. His won't pass because the OBD2 doesn't register on the test equipment.

worked for me.. ironically cel popped as soon as i left the station..

 

I've sold a few 2ndary o2 sensor "foolers" here and locally.

I'm in the process of making one for another user - so if you want one, just lmk.

I usually try to just make them for friends or other itr owners who need to pass emissions with a 'high flow' cat, etc.
