Re: TW Sensor Clarification
Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.
Re: TW Sensor Clarification
Very well done.
Can we get together and get some pictures of the sensors on the car? I got a J code 88.
Be a good sticky when finished.

Re: TW Sensor Clarification
This is interesting, I was reading the engine code check post in the How-To section and noticed that not all 3Geez are the same. https://www.3geez.com/forum/how/81283...odes-pics.html. 89 LXi has a different TW Sensor. Check the pic attached to the Code #6 section taken by ShyBoyCA6. I think that's an 89 in the picture.
So here's mine: 87 LXi - I've never messed with these before but maybe a previous owner had?

I think it is. The early FI cars where a little different than the later ones.
I would go by the wiring. I see 2 wires on my plug on the left.
Ill get some pics tomorrow I am a bit down on a sore neck and just come from the chiropractor.
Re: TW Sensor Clarification
Thanks for your help oldblue. I was able to at least confirm which is which. Only one sensor will trigger the code 6, and for me its the SU410 sensor.
My sensor wire colors:
TW Sensor: green/white stripe and yellow/green stripe
Cooling Fan Sensor: white/green stripe and black

Re: TW Sensor Clarification

This unplugged causes a code 6 on the ECU.
Two vids to help understand its operation a little better.

Second one is with the sensor plugged back in.

I highlighted the 200-400 ohm reading as important with the car fully warmed up.

This is my accord and I have a code 6 is this idle a result of the code 6?
https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthre...29-Where-is-it
In this post shows the sensors mine the one in the yellow box is corroded is this causing the rough idle and rough start or is it a vacuum leak

When the sensor fails you car runs very rich.
