Well I guess my baby was feeling left out, because out of the blue the CEL just lit up right after starting the engine this evening. I took it down to Autozone for a read, and this is what it was showing;

p0135---malfunction in the heater circuit for o2 sensor 1 in bank 1.

p0141---malfunction in the heater circuit for o2 sensor 2 in bank 1.

p0155---malfunction in the heater circuit for o2 sensor 1 in bank 2.

p0161---malfunction in the heater circuit for o2 sensor 2 in bank 2.

I did a little searching but most of the info was related to voltage issues concerning the o2 sensors. Any ideas if this is a false reading or should I start looking for the replacement sensors? Also does anyone know if the "heater circuit" is part of the o2 sensor?

I am about to start looking through the downloadable vx manual but thought I'd throw this out there in case someone has already been down this road. Also i wasnt able to see if the codes are recurring since Autozone would not reset the codes. Guess I'll have to find a different place for that.

Disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour to clear the codes.

My check engine light is on, and I'm bringing the VX in tomorrow morning to get checked out...

Wow, it is weird how many of us are having issues at the moment. There is a full moon tonight...

So you are going in to see Espo? I wish there was an Espo's out here.

I'm still dripping.

Changes in weather are causing it I think.

You know, I was thinking the same thing about my coolant leak. I bet with the colder weather, seals contract and could cause a leak. Just a thought I had.
