Driving this morning to take car for MOT at 80mph on dual carriageway (Italian tune up), and engine management light came on. Mechanic at garage read code (PO132 - I believe this is the o2 sensor). He advised circuit voltage was also high. He cleared code, and car passed MOT - no probs.
FSH - 62000m
Can anyone advise what to do next as driving car home it never came on again???
Many thanks

Yes; the code is "Oxygen sensor 1, bank 1, voltage above normal parameters." As well as that EOBD code, there is the possibility of a more detailed Honda-specific code stored, that his scanner couldn't access.
Has the sensor ever been changed for a non-genuine one? There is the small possiblity of a wiring short, or an ECU fault; but if it doesn't recur, ignore it for now.

Maybe it just got a bit excited then; wait and see what happens.
They're around £300, so you don't change them unless you have to. It's in the exhaust; just before the cat.
