Fortunately, this is a VERY easy fix...just raise the antenna mast with the control button on your consol (near th e radio controls). Check your manual if you"re uncertain what button it is.

Go to Harbor Freight Tools and spend $40 for an OBD Diagnostic Tool that will tell you the code and reason for why the Check Engine light came on (likely it's a bad oxygen sensor). It takes 3 minutes to diagnose. Then at least you'll know what you're in store for to get it repaired, and don't have to spend $159. If it's the Oxygen Sensor, it'll cost about $140 for the part and about 1 hour labor (I know because my LX just had the same problem). Good luck.

It's on the driver's side, front corner of the engine. You need to remove a small metal plate under the engine to access it. You can also see it from the top of the engine. Don't know what size of wrench you need. The drain plug is toward the back of the engine. Again, you need to remove a small plastic plate (1 bolt) under the car to access it.

I have a 2000 LX 470. The Check Engine light came on. I diagnosed it as Trouble Code #P0155, which notes an Oxygen Sensor Heater problem (Bank 2, Sensor 1). Has anyone changed this O2 sensor? Where specifically is it located and is it a big job? My local mechanic is going to charge me 1 hour labor in addition to the part cost of $138 (which doesn't sound too bad). Any words of advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
