Default o2 sensor help

I don't have an o2 after the cat .so I was wondering where the wire connects to the computer from tge sensor. Also, would having no cat still throw thqt code? Thanks for the help.

his profile says 96, so he should have one.

Not the stock exhaust i presume? Can you see any extra wires dangling down there?

It runs into the main loom then to the ecu. What are you trying to do?

honestly the rear one doesnt do much... just check condition of the Cat and isn't "Active"

if you don't have a Cat and you hook it up you may still have a CE-light....

The only way to clear it is to have a functioning cat or a simulator circuit. I've also heard about fooling the sensor with a spacer but I don't know that much about it. A good high flow cat isn't very expensive and will clean up the exhaust without effecting performance and turn off the light so you know of something else is wrong.
