Primary is the top one before the cat, and secondary is under the cat, which is mainly for emmisions testing reasons. The primary one helps aid the motor in correcting its air\fuel ratio by measuring the burn in the exhaust.

Since you have the Y7 motor, the CAT is on the header itself, just behind the radiator, so they arent too hard to reach.

Can someone post a pic of the o2 sensor 1 in bank 1, which says input voltage too low.

This is a civic LX, it has 2 o2's. 4 wires each.
Got a code P0131. Input voltage from o2 sensor 1 in bank 1 is too low for current conditions. Retards cant put in in plain terms haha, anwyay....It says closest to the cylinder head b4 the cat converter. Not sure which of the 2 is this loc talking bout.

Actually I checked both, they are within reach, each one had 4 wires. My old civic only has one wire.
