Is there a way to bypass an 02 sensor? my check engine light is always on and i ran diagnostics and they all tell me its my 02 sensor...

 

Why would you want to bypass your "02" sensor? I would probably get it checked out over just ignoring a potential problem. BUT... You could always turn the light off with one of the scanners from an auto parts store but it will probably come back on...

 

because its no big problem... i did that and it did come back on.

 

What error code are you getting anyway is it the first or second 02 sensor?

Chip your ECU and run your car in Open loop. That way your ECU doesn't look for a voltage from your 02 sensors. If you chip your ECU and run it in Open Loop you have to get it tuned. If not you will run into worse problems. Might as well just replace your 02 sensor.

There is a device for sale on Egay that says it will bypass your 02. I'm thinking if this egay device is a static voltage, your CEL will come back on after a while. Our ECU's are smart enough to tell that a static voltage means something is wrong. Your ECU is looking for voltage that changes regularly and will probably pick up on the static voltage then pop a code. If you can come up with a device that will produce a varying voltage within the proper ranges you could trick the ECU.

none of that on my topics! thanks

 

noob? lmfao

 

I have the same problem with my O2 sensor. I'm looking to maybe find it a little cheaper than the price I got on it. Auto parts store said $147. Does anyone know where I can get one a little cheaper than that?

lol a different auto parts store? May not be true there but for me it's sometimes cheaper to get parts for a Honda from the dealer and pays off in the long run oh and thread hijacking=

yea, shop around. some auto parts store will beat competitor prices too by a percentage, i know shucks does it by 5%. so dont be lazy and shop around! be cautious if buying on ebay though.

 

i got a guy that owns an import shop around here that can get parts up to 85% off so i will talk to him about being a sponsor and hooking us all up!
