Okay, car: 1996 Accord sedan, f22b2 engine.
Problem: I have installed a race header, (straight pipe, no cat). I have a cel, pulled the code and got #65(Secondary oxygen sensor heater wire.) I tried to reset it, but it still is on. Any ideas what can be wrong? I have no experience with the accord, only my rsx. On the rsx, you can use an 02 simulator to get rid of the cel light(if you dont the car goes into limp mode, and I dont want that to happen with the accord, its my daily driver.)Im not sure if the same applies to the accord. Please help. Thanks in advance.

 

It's because you don't have a cat. You will have to find some kind of o2 sensor simulator like you said you had for your RSX, or you will have to install a cat to get the CEL to go away.

 

Thanks for the reply. I already have the 02 simulator on it, but the cel is still on.

Seems like this could work.

.... or this

I think he just said he already has one of those^. But if your o2 simulator is different, $25 may be worth a shot! Or you could try the o2 sensor "defouler" trick.

 

Thanks, but I already have one on it. Thats why Im lost.

 

I tried both the defouler and o2 simulator methods. Nothing worked. Maybe something else is wrong with it?

 

do you have the spacer (first link) or the electronic simulator (second link)?
