02 sensor replace
Hi there,
I am trying to get my 2000 Hyundai accent to pass smog (check engine light is not on; my car failed the smog test).
1) I replaced the front O2 sensor- do I need to replace the back one too (after the cat)?
2) Is there a reset switch for the computer or can I just remove the battery cables?
Thanks! Vera

MIL don't need to be illuminated for codes to be stored.... Scan the thing and see what is in the memory.. Post the codes ..
Why did it fail ??? Smog do the plug in and inspect readiness test and found in the first line under "number of DTC" that it had more than "0"..
There is a lot of stuff you do not know in regard to Accent with the tricks of the codes with them..
Post up with DTC(s) and why you failed, "maybe" I can tell you how to "repair it right the first time" and save you a bunch of headache.. kinda like most of the ox codes on Accent is not for real, there is actually different repair than replacing a good ox with a new ox.

The original questions, which were not answered, remain the same.
I don't have a scan tool so I can't give out any codes, the car failed for high NOx / lean. When I removed the front O2 sensor there was definitely a white glaze on the sensor confirming the lean mix. I was hoping to avoid getting a scan tool - if I had a scan tool then I wouldn't be on this forum asking. Should I replace the other one after the cat?
Please answer the original questions. Is there a reset switch for the computer? Does this clear the memory?

P-0133 slow response... the cars is noisey/loud... replace the front pipe,, Hyundai had to issue TSB becuase of Ox replace, and code came back..
p-0130 in activity... TSB, dont really see it much, but lots of sensors got replaced, and code came back... reprogram the PCM
Transmission code for output speed sensor,,, test sensor, if good, reprogram TCM... sensor out of range --> replace & reprogram TCM.. there is toipc here in Accent with snapshot of GDS screen for the update
