Default Check engine light

Help needed please,

I've had the check engine light on now for months and never got round to doing anything about it.

So i've read up that it is the 02 sensor and that to start off with i should check for fuse 6 and make sure it is ok

I can't find a fuse with a number 6 anywhere

Checked under the bonnet and under the driver side dash and cannot find fuse 6

Really want to get rid of the warning light so please help

Well I had the battery out not long ago as I replaced it with a new one - the old battery was out over night.

Warning light wasn't affected

Can anyone help me fix this code or am I going or am I going to have to go to a garage to get this fixed?

If the light isn't going off after an ecu reset, then it probably needs a new O2 sensor.

http://www.lambdasensor.com/ this is who most people use if they don't go the OEM route.

Cheers for the info- they just quoted me £130

I take it that's the going rate

Yes - Bosch is OEM hence the £130.

From the same people are Walker - http://www.ecolambda...in/hondantk.htm Which is about half the price.
