Hi,

1996 Honda Accord, mileage: 184,554, 2 weeks ago I had my check engine light come on. Took it to a mechanic and determined it was the post-cat oxygen sensor. Had it replaced and everything seemed fine.

Prior to this, the check engine light was going on and off for about 4 weeks. Took it to multiple places telling me it was the oxygen sensor.

Now, about last week the light came on again, mind you, this is after a new oxygen sensor was put in. Any thoughts as what is causing the light to come back on? Could it be that the system may just need to be reset?

What do you have for a code
need to scan it again
most times its recommended to replace the two O2 sensors on an older system as one will effect the reading of the other
need the codes
