SES (Service Engine Soon) light after test pipe installed

[manchi]

Ok, I got the infamous SES light on after the test pipe installed yesterday. I've read the anti-fouler possibly will solve the problem. Anyone got a suggestion?

[ryanowarrior]

what kind of test pipe man?? did it not come with one??

[manchi]

it's the ichiban test pipe came from ebay.

[ryanowarrior]

ah ok, does the sensor screw all the way down into the pipe??

[manchi]

yup. it's all the way in there. there are actually two hole, I put the o2 sensor in the one near the dp where the sensor 1 is. Does that make difference?

[ryanowarrior]

ah, wonder why they 2 holes, ima tryin to pull it up on ebay now and look at it, if its all the way in there you need a spacer or a anit fouler for sure, your sensor is reading way to much exhaust flow causin the light, mine barely sticks through i mean barely

[manchi]

hmm i thought they pre-drilled one for the wideband usage.

If there are 2 holes then you can use one for a wideband & 1 for your stock rear o2 sensor. you will need an antifouler to keep the CEL from coming on. Did it come with aplug for one of the holes incase you arent running a wideband?

I rock the antifouler with zero issues.

yup. it did came with 2 plugs. one for each hole. that's why i'm not sure which one goes for the o2 sensor. :D

ima dummy lol

it shouldnt really matter which hole right?? which ever is closer to the sensor!! the wideband sensor would need to screw all the way down too unlike the 02 sensor i believe.

[shunderwunder]

I doesn't matter which hole for the o2, but from what I researched when I installed mine is that you want to mount the wideband tward the front of the exhaust. I can't see that it would matter though. And yes, you would want to screw the wideband all the way in. So wideband in front & o2 in rear with antifouler.

[manchi]

I guess I will need to visit autozone soon. thanks all for the suggestions.

[shunderwunder]

Don't forget that you will need to get the CEL reset after installing the antifouler cause it wont go off on it's own.

[TouringBubble]

Yup ... move the stock sensor to the rear and use the antifouler trick. Mine's been great for about 15k so far.

Also you don't have to get the code pulled with a OBD machine to clear it. You can just disconnect the battery for about a min. and it should clear it.
