Re: O2 sensor high voltage throwing CEL

I'm not sure what mods you have and I'm not the most knowledgeable about engines but my recommendation would be to replace the upstream 02 and see if that fixes it.

Re: O2 sensor high voltage throwing CEL

Figure out WHY the computer doesn't like what it sees. I might monitor the actual output voltage of the sensor, and watch the values of that sensor in the datastream on a scantool. Then make decisions based on what I find there.
