Daytona 955i (02CE, 03)
15 Apr 2008 23:11 |
Just today I noticed the check engine light on when I was riding, so I ran a Tuneboy over my '02 Daytona for the first time today...damn cool tool btw.
Anyways, when I check the error codes, I get a P0135 - Oxygen Sensor Heater Element Malfunction code. Now I did a little research online research on this code and it doesn't appear to be a huge deal...but I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I like my bike to be in perfect running order; however I know very little about O2 sensors.
So...my question(s)...most of what I found online is telling me this is likely caused by a short in the O2 sensor or somewhere along it's circuit path. Does that sound reasonable or is something else going on? Is this something I should just live with or should I go out and replace the O2 sensor? If it is indeed a short, will a new O2 sensor fix the problem?
Thanks for your help guys!

My '06 did the same thing when I picked it up, due to a low battery. If it doesn't clear on its own or keeps returning, then I'd be concerned. Otherwise check out your battery and charging system.

Well if you unplugged it any stage it may just be the ole 3 heat cycles before it goes out..

I thought I had hit the 3 heat cycles before I posted up my question...but I believe I was wrong. I reset the code last night and all appears to be fine now.

O2 sensors do fail, sometimes due to leaded (race) fuel.. sometimes just due to age.
if the code keeps coming back, the likely failure is the sensor itself, though a chaffed harness/short somewhere is also possible, it can be a nightmare to find something like that, and quite simple to change the sensor.
normally i am not a fan of throwing parts at a problem, but given the time difference between the two approaches, in this case that would be my course of action.
