On my car, it wasn't too bad, although I had to remove the right front seat, per my Helms manual. It should be easier on yours, I would think. Use an OEM part rather than aftermarket. RFT!!!

Most muffler shops will do a free inspection in hopes of getting business if something turns up; might be worth a visit. Otherwise you are probably stuck with sensor replacement. Mike |

It is a common failure on a ten year old vehicle and shouldn't be a big deal to change as long as you have access to it. I first remove the wiring to it and then use a box end wrench to turn the sensor. I don't recall the size, but it might be an SAE size rather than metric. Don't use an open end or other wrench as that sucker might be corroded into place. The secondary sensor is the one after the catalytic converter. There are two, one before and one after. The one before the converter is the actual feedback device for engine mixture adjustment. The one after the converter is part of the car's self-monitoring emissions control system. Also, do not mess with a universal replacement sensor featuring wire splices. I've had bad luck with those. The secondary sensor is the one after the catalytic converter. There are two, one before and one after. The one before the converter is the actual feedback device for engine mixture adjustment. The one after the converter is part of the car's self-monitoring emissions control system. You can get a Denso sensor for around $70 from rockauto.com. I buy many of my parts there. You can also get a 5% discount from them through 8/22 by entering the discount code 44696037569. On Japanese cars I generally use Densos and on European cars the Bosch sensors. Generally there is no need to get a dealer part. However, do stay away from the "universal" sensors. Best of luck, John |

Thank you, John, for the info, but I have 165,000 miles on the
Accord, and I must admit, enjoyable and trouble free! I cant ask for much more!
