this whole time ive been driving my spare car and havent been using the crv and yes it is a straight 4 so im guessing it has two o2 sensors and i changed the first 02 sensor (using a universal Bosch sensor where you have to piece together the wires with the old harness-$60 instead of $200) but the light is still on. I had autozone check the codes and manually reset them and the light stayed off for a few seconds and then came back on after i reversed and stepped on the gas. The same is true after I disconnected the battery from the car and let it sit powerless for about an hour. The codes are still reading the same thing ODBII PO134 code Sensor No Activity Bank1 Sensor1 and PO135 Code P0135 --Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction. I am beginning to think that maybe the problem wasnt the original O2 sensor itself but the harness that connected it to the system which I reused when i spliced the wires using the in-box connector Bosch provides you with. It is either than or the harness itself leading to the engine or it could be something blown in the fuse box. Do you know the exact fuse that powers the sensor heater circuit/02 harness that sends the signals to the computer?

If the grumbling noise is when you are starting out under medium to hard acceleration it could be the left front engine mount. I just had the engine mount replaced ($260 at dealer) on my 04 with 105,000 miles. Very common problem from what I have read. It's been doing it forever and I finally put 2 and 2 together based on many posts seen here and the fact that it got worse. The broken mount allows the drivetrain (eng and tranny) to move slightly causing strain. There is a Honda service bulliten out on this but with so many miles on mine there was no cost relief.

I sent my car to two dealers. One said that they didn't find any problem, and the other found my tires out of balance slightly. They balanced all four tires. But I still fell vibration, especially when turning and slowing down on highway. Any thought about what the real problem could be? Thanks.

I would bring it back to the dealership and bring them in the car with you so you can point out what the problem is while driving. Maybe you have a warped rotor. You described that you felt the vibration when turning and slowing down. Is it a vibration or is it more of a pulsating problem. If it is a pulsating feeling, it would lead me to believe this a brake problem of some form. No matter what this is a new car and the dealership should at the least be able to tell you what is causing the problem. Good luck

Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit by washby

I got the maintenance codes checked in my 2004 Honda Crv and they were ODBII PO134 code Sensor No Activity Bank1 Sensor1 and PO135 Code P0135 --Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction. How is it that you replace the Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit? Does anyone know where the Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit is located and what they run for?

It's a part of the oxygen sensor itself, a second piece to it.
 
The oxygen sensor normally is in an extremely hot environment, monitoring the exhaust gases. When you first start a vehicle, the exhaust gas is comparatively speaking cold, and hence the oxygen sensor is giving erroneous readings as it is not working in the hot environment it normally works in.
 
What the heater circuit does, is when starting a cold engine it heats up the oxygen sensor....so it gets up to working temperature faster, and allows your engine computer to adjust the correct fuel mixture quicker.

Just got service done at 40k miles on 2007 Honda CR-V by srizvi1

Just got back from the dealer and I thought I'd post this info in case it helps or if anyone wants to chime in (I'm replying to my last post about the questions I had revolving around the 30k service on this car). This is my father's 2007 CR-V - it hit 40,232 miles and was down to 5% oil life. I got my local dealer to match a service promo from another dealer in the area - $29.99 for Oil & Filter Change, Tire Rotation, Battery Test & Multi-Point Inspection with Written Report.
 
Looking at the edmunds maintenance schedule (http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/select.asp), I wanted to have the following done & checked out (assuming I had everything checked and done properly at my last big maintenance point at 30k miles):
 
Inspect Brake lines, hoses & connections (done? power steering & serpentine checked out, hoses ok - don't see anything for brake line)
Inspect Brakes (done - 8/32 front, 7/32 rear)
Inspect boots & seals Drive axles (dont see this so.. not done?)
Change Engine oil (done)
Inspect Exhaust system (done)
Inspect Fluid levels (done)
Inspect Fuel lines & hoses (partially done? I see a check mark for radiator hoses, heater hoses, power steering hoses, and air conditioning hoses)
Lubricate Hinges, locks & latches (no mention of this so.. not done. Nothing for Fuel lines?)
Check operation Lights & accessories (done)
Replace Oil filter (done)
Inspect/adjust Parking brake (no mention of this.. so .. not done?)
Inspect Steering (done - says steering components)
Inspect Suspension (done)
Inspect Tie rod ends, steering gearbox & boots (dont see any of these.. so.. not done?)
Rotate Wheels & tires (Done)
 
You'll see my notes on what I believe was done and not done based on what I saw in the summary sheet/vehicle check up report.
 
They suggested I get the brake fluid and power steering fluid flushed (Dirty).
 
Lastly, my CR-V has been needed to be jumped a few times in the past couple weeks. Yesterday I was sitting in the car with the engine off, but battery on and listening to the radio for about 30 minutes and the battery died and needed a jump. I thought this meant a weak battery which should be changed under warranty, but their battery test said it was still good (12.58V/449 CCA). So as a result, they wouldn't give me a new battery.

I took off the oxygen sensor and double checked the connections. I used a test charger to make sure that the harness piece and the oxygen sensor had continuity. I took off the piece of crap wire connector that Bosch provided and connected all four sets of wires with heat shrinking butt connectors. Now my car computer only reads ODBII PO134 code Sensor No Activity Bank1 Sensor1 and not the previous PO135 Code P0135 --Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction. Does that mean I am in the clear now? Does my computer/car just need time to burn off any excess fuel that could have gone in the catalytic converter? If so how long should this process take because I dont want to run a risk of damaging the catalytic converter because the sensor has failed to kick on.

BOSCH O2 sensors are incompatible with Honda engine computers. You are bettter off buying a DENSO or OEM. Some Honda dealers have on-line outlets which sell OEM parts at discount.

I have an 04. I need to change the brake light (next to door) not above window.
 
I see 2 screws under two plastic caps. Is this all there are? Just unscrew and pull?
