well that is a oxygen sensor heater malfunction bank 1 so it needs to be replaced and depending on what year your car is will determine the cost of the sensor 04-05 civics are very expensive anywhere from 150-230 dollars depending on the brand you get but the older model are usually cheaper then 100 dollars. as for the labor cost you can easily replace it yourself with a plug and play sensor it just screws rite in. the bottom line is you can save yourself alot on money buying the part online and installing it yourself.

yea.. replace it yourself. Save yourself some money by buying the sensor @ hondapartscheap.com or hondaautomotiveparts.com and swapping it yourself.

Just make sure you let your exhaust system cool properly before trying, otherwise you'll prolly burn the **** out of yourself and you'll have a hell of a time taking the sensor out
