How To Remove A Badly Corroded Car Battery, Replace With New

My battery terminals were really corroded. It was so bad that the bolts and nuts could not be saved. When I got a new set of bolts and nuts, even though they were purchased based on the year and make, they didn’t fit well. I will show you how to fix that.

In addition to demonstrating how to remove a badly corroded battery and replace with a new battery, I will show you how to be safe and will explain the correct procedure to avoid hazards as well as damage to the battery assembly.

Flat Tire-My Most Embarrassing Moments,Unbelievable, I’m Shocked


I am pretty handy and resourceful but I have to admit my recent most embarrassing moments. Although I’ve had many flat tires in the past, I was surprised and shocked at how little I knew about my new Nissan Leaf.

This is the story: our new Nissan Leaf (a newly leased car) got a flat tire in the middle of a parking lot. So, not the first time, just calmly figure out what to do, right? But then I noticed both left and right had earth moving equipment moving in. and realized that the parking lot was going through construction and renovation. Now I was under pressure just to move the car to somewhere else. Still, not a big deal, just a flat tire, right? Wrong again. Now I am sharing my mistakes with you so that you do not have to make the same ones. Certainly I wish someone told me this (before my flat tire accident).

I am grateful to the construction team, if you are watching and smiling, who did not bulldoze or even tow my car, and in fact were both patient and helpful.:]

6 Steps To Replace Oxygen Sensor

6 Steps To Replace An Oxygen Sensor

This video shows 6 steps to remove the old oxygen sensor & 6 steps to install a new Oxygen sensor.
Starting from the beginning when you received an engine warning light, what do you do?
I got the P0141 code (you may have other codes). It indicates that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly. Either the heating element on the sensor is not working, or the heating circuit is open, many possible places that the wires are disconnected. Since the engine light only comes on a few days after reset, I decided it is more likely the sensor is not working.
The 2nd question is should it be genuine OEM part or universal sensor? Of course you are interested in this: where is the cheapest place for the genuine Honda oxygen sensor?

Diagnosis of the P0141 Code & Oxygen Sensor

Diagnosis of the P0141 Code & Oxygen Sensor

Got the P0141 code which is: the controller tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin operation. If too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. There are 2 possibilities:
1. the heating element on the sensor is not working.
2. the heating circuit is open, many possible places that the wires are disconnected.
I measured the resistance of the heating element, which is about 6 ohm. Since after reset the engine light does not come on until a few days later, I decide just to replace the oxygen sensor.

P0141 is for the “secondary oxygen sensor” when you order from Honda. Or the “downstream oxygen sensor” when you order from third party store.

I will order one from Honda instead of using the Bosch’s Universal Oxygen Sensor.
