2ndary o2 - heater malfunction

Did you replace the primary or secondary?
Did you buy a universal/wire-youreself sensor or a good one that already has a connector?

 

i replace the primary one. i found a little rip in the secondary green wire. that might be the problem. i'll get a new one to see if it makes a difference. are the primary O2 sensor and secondary O2 sensor any different or are they the same? thanks for all the codes pdiggitydogg!

The primary and secondary O2 sensors are indeed different.

Maybe I misinterpeted, but if the code you have is for the secondary O2 and you replaced the primary...then...what I'm saying is that they are indeed different. If you replaced the primary thinking it would fix the code, then you replaced the wrong O2 sensor.

 

i was planning on buying the secondary one but must of bought the primary one. would that throw out the code? and how are they different from each other? thanks
