Default CEL help...It may be the o2 sensor, Light only is on when car is warm

I have a 93 Civic with a 99 GSR motor with an OBD1 Ecu turbocharged. I have a feeling my 02 sensor might be bad. I am getting a CEL but it doesnt come on untill the car has warmed up. Thats why I think it may have to do with the o2 sensor, does anyone have any ideas can anyone confirm this??

i have the same problem on my 90 civic si stock. The check engine lite will only come on after the car is warm
example( comes on about 5 miles after i first start it in the morning. After the light comes on i shut off the car and turn it back on it will take about 30 seconds for the light to come back on, because the car is still warm.

how do i check for codes on OND-0 cars?
