you have to read up on reading codes....

finding out the code will point you in a direction of the circuit or sensor that is having a problem... just because the code is named after a sensor... there are trouble shooting charts for each code...

so if an oxygen sensor code pops up...    it could be several other things.. and the oxygen sensor will be just fine...

autozone.com has some free repair info...


here is a picture and a related article on how to access and read the codes...

don't worry that its for a corvette...   the system is almost identical...
