hi guys,

i hv a jdm 96 spec dc2r and the catalytic converter heat up light (beside the check engine light) is on all the time, anyone can shed some light on the problem and also any ways of fixing it?

cheers

 

Our cars dont have that light.

 

Replace the sensor?

 

I dont know about JDM.

 

sorry we are all americanized here....we dont have the little luxuries that the real type r's have

 

I was wrong. See below

Solution B) I'm guessing that it means that the heating elements inside of the oxygen sensor have failed. 02 sensors have this heating element to help them get up to proper operating temperature quickly in cold weather. A new 02 sensor should fix it. However, the heating element being out is only really going to affect the first few minutes of driving when it's cold out, so if you do just pull the bulb and not worry about it, it won't be a big deal. You could also check the wires going to the 02 sensor/sensors. There should be 4 wires, one is the ground, one is the signal wire, and two will be for the heating element. Whichever two are the same color are the heater wires.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I don't think the JDM cat has a O2 sensor in it. I believe it is a temperature sensor.

Don't Lie
Your car has more JDM then anything else.
