reset the ECU by pulling the 7.5A fuse in the engine bay fuse box and putting it back in after 5 minutes. pull codes and repost what comes up.

I removed the fuse and the batterie negative for 15 min and still the
Light stayed on after reconnecting and starting. What do u think , is there more then one sensor? Or is it possible that it stayed on cuzni used a universall o2 sensor.

Wait. Did the code present itself BEFORE you swapped out O2 sensors?

Im from australia the car is imported i put it on the jack today i saw that there a sensor or some sort of sensor in the middle of the exhaust underneath (right in the middle of the exhaust pipes underneath the car screwed to it the exhaust pipes with the wire cut of the top exactly) could that be the reason why the light is on?

If this is pretty much what you're talking about:


Then don't worry. It's just another o2 sensor. Replace that as well if you're sure that it is actually your o2 sensor.

To check your CEL code get a paperclip and use this page to check what is actually wrong with your car:

JDM import? That's not a secondary O2 sensor, JDM cars had a temp sensor in the catalytic converter. If the cat overheats a light on the dash comes on (red light, looks like a catalytic converter with heat lines coming off it) or it's a second primary O2 sensor (OBD0 JDM B16As were setup like this, as well as older Preludes.

Cat temp sensor:



Twin primary O2 sensors:

where can you get a sensor like such so that the light on my jdm eg cluster would function? (referring to the light that looks like a catalytic converter with slices of hot bacon on top of it")
