I've tried using the search for about half an hour but can't seem to find the thread. It was basically a thread that had pics on how to modify the sensor that goes into the test pipe in order to get rid of the CEL. What it did was just move the sensor a little further back so that it wouldn't detect the fumes as much.

Anyone happen to have a link to it?

This and many other key threads are listed in the FAQs at the top of Technical. Have a look sometime.

 

Thanks!

 

Is this CEL related to secondary 02 sensor??

 

The CEL light can be triggered by ANY of dozens upon dozens of faults in this car. The sec. O2 is only one.

 

is this case.... the CEL is related to secondary O2 sensor right?

 

If you install a test pipe and just plug in the O2 sensor directly, then yes, it will most likely throw a CEL.

 

how about my 02 sensor broke ( i see a bare wires but not disconnected and this is WHY it is throwing a CEL)
would this still work??

 

Is your sensor in a stock cat or a test pipe? You should not have any bare wires, Did the sensor get hit - You might need to replace your sensor!

 

No, you have an O2 sensor that isn't "talking" to the ECU due to the disconnected wires. Until you get a working O2 sensor, the CEL will remain.
O2 simulators trick the ECU into seeing a "normal" condition. An electronic one will work to eliminate your CEL because it will "talk" to the ECU. It's just that it will tell the ECU a lie.
A "Mechanical" simulator is just that - a mechanical device. You still have to have a working O2 sensor (which you don't).
