Icon6 o2 Sensor Replacement

Last night, my check engine light came on and i immediately went to autozone and got a reading and that's the code that i got back. 5 years ago, i replaced both the front and rear by a pro. I was wondering is there a write up w/pics included, that maybe I can do this time? To save money?

I have a 97 Accord SE 2.2L

you'll need this and a 3/8Th ratchet some anti-seize for the new o2 sensor thread (do not apply to much), also get some WD40 prior to removing sensors, let the liquid marinate and go for it.

I have heard they can be rented so try that before buying one, although they are relatively cheap.

Nice! However, I wouldn't have replaced the rear.

The 2nd o2 sensor simply tells the ECU is the cat is working properly for emissions. I would have saved some $ and just put a spark plug defouler in it to get rid of the problem for the 2nd o2, but would have replaced the first one.

EDIT: HOW MANY MILES ARE ON YOUR ACCORD?

They are still under warranty for the EPA lawsuit/recall until Jan 1st. I.E. Honda has to replace anything for FREE that triggers the CEL which is emission related.
