Default Reset car after fixing CEL?

Should you reset the car after you install a new o2 sensor?

Yes. It shoulda been disconnected before you started the procedure.

Yeah to clear out the code in computer you will have to. Disconnect the battery, turn the lights on and let it sit for about 15 min. Reconnect the battery and you're good to go.

Correction, you only need it off for 5 mins or less. 15 mins is an old misconstrued myth.
