Help,
I have a 100% stock 2000-T currently with 49,699 miles that I purchased beginning of March this year and just last week the check engine light came on while warming up for a drive. Extremely upset since it only gets to be driven once a week. Today, I took it to AutoZone for a free OBDll scan and the unit pulled up code P0141 (O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction; bank 1 sensor 2).
I have driven the car twice since the light came on and had not noticed any change in performance, i.e idle speed, acceleration, no unusual engine noise. Vehicle essentially runs perfect except for the engine light on. Have read on prime threads about the extended warranty Acura has on emissions related check engine codes- does warranty apply even if I am not the first owner? Also ,would it do any further engine damage if I continue to drive the vehicle with this code classification?
Should I try resetting just to see if engine light would turn on again? (Maybe/Hoping it's a fluke.) It's hard to believe my dreamcar would already have this problem. Thanks for any advice and even more thankful for a great website.
