alright i was driving tonight and i hit a small bump in the road from construction and after a few seconds my CEL went on...so i did what anyone else would do and pull the code and it was 61...i looked it up and it had somehtin to do with my primary o2 sensor or somethin...i have a 99 civic ex with a JDM b16 sir2 motor...any one know what could be the problem, im kinda of lost here and not sure what i should do or look for...all help is greatly appreciated

thanks in advance!!!

this what it says exactly:
61 Oxygen Sensor, Heated - Sensor 1 (Primary) high voltage, low voltage, or slow response

You could check the wiring to the sensor. Is your exhaust loose at all? Maybe the bump pulled too much on the wires? Rule out the easy stuff first like maybe it came unplugged or broke a wire. Corroded connections?

Then reset your ECU & see if it comes back. If it doesn't, then it could be bogus. If the sensor was cheaper, you could just get a new one to try, but I usually look for other problems first.
