Challenger Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey Im looking at a 280zxt tomorrow and the owner mentioned the "sensor" light is on. He says it runs fine so he doesnt know what it is. So what is this sensor light and what imputs does it look at to determine if it turns on? Is he thinking the check engine light? Ive never really looked at a 280zxt dash so Im not sure what it means. Thanks BTW Im not trying to get a diagnosis for it, just want to know what kind of thing turns it on, I can then check to see if theres anything majorily wrong with that specific system.

nismopick Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If it's the orange sensor warning light on the top right of the cluster, it's the 30k mile O2 sensor trip. To turn it off you unplug the sensor trip wire under passenger side of dash. There's a blurb about it in the Haynes & FSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ok, its just saying "Replace your o2 sensor"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopick Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Indeed. Page 59-60 of the 280zx Haynes (for future reference). It's a GY colored wire w/ round connector @ the main dash wiring connector block. Disconnect it @ 30k miles (when you supposedly change the O2 sensor).

Challenger Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ok thanks. Of course no one would actually change the o2 sensor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Mine never has gone on, even with it disconnected. I would have to read up on that which has been posted about the FSM. Why another? Great to see you get a ZX!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Id only use the engine. Then part out the rest and scrap the car. If you need any parts let me know. It might help me make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
