Accord O2 sensors easy reach?
I'm asking on behalf of a friend who might want to change his O2
sensors soon. Are the connectors easy to access from underneath, or stuffed up under the carpets somewhere? Another question was whether we need the ULEV sensors or the cheaper ones? When the owner got it checked they told her it is a ULEV engine. Thanks for any tips! -Dean |

The one is located in the engine bay by the exhaust manifold. The other one is located directly on the cat and should be easily accessible if you have a lift. You'll need an O2 sensor socket to get either one out easily. |

"want to change his O2 sensors"??? /why/ would they want to change them? what code are they getting? > Are the connectors easy to access from underneath, or > stuffed up under the carpets somewhere? you could get at them from underneath the carpets, but it would be a lot of hard work. you're better off opening the hood and looking at them bolted to the exhaust system right in front of you. and you'll need the correct tool. > > Another question was whether we need the ULEV sensors or the cheaper > ones?

I'm talking about the connectors, not the sensor end. On my lexus the connectors were buries inside the cabin under the carpets and air ducting, and that is what took all the time. What I'm asking is whether the connectors are easily accessible from under the car or through the endgine bay or not. The car has 90K miles so I thought if we change one might has well change the other while at it. -Dean |

Yeah they said that about the lexus too, and that was BS and totally unnecessary. I'll tell them to get the Haynes manual. Thanks -Dean |

Nick may be correct about the 02, but the only ways for you to know are 1.) try it, to see what you have to do to remove it, or 2.) have the proper reference (the shop manual) which will tell you.

It isn't my car, its my workmate's car and I don't have time to fix it myself or even climb under it to take a look. I just wanted to advise them on whether it was a simple car- ramps job or if it required taking up all the carpets or seats. For them, they'll do with the cheapy Haynes manual (personally I quite like the Haynes, but I never seem to own a car that has one any more!) Cheers, -Dean |

I still cut corners myself, but I have found that very often (with the Honda, at least) that the shortcuts wind up costing me more time/money than if I had done it right the first time. I have never used the Haynes manual for these cars; they may be fine. Good luck with it, in any event. RFT!!!
