I Was having a surging issue at idle and a stall issue when shifting into neutral. Never had any codes or alarms with this issue. Brought the 2003 BF225 to a shop and they had trouble at first reading the motor with their computer. Finally got it to read and it showed a bad HO2 sensor. They replaced it and cleaned a bunch of stuff. Got the boat back and it runs great. Unfortunately, now I'm getting the infamous alarm for the HO2 sensor. I read the codes and found the HO2 sensor is faulty. Brought it back to the shop and they confirmed the code is the HO2 sensor. They called Honda and Honda apparently didn't know what to do. Shop tells me nothing they can do and Honda doesn't know either.
I completed the service bulletin #56 the other day and reset the code in the ECM. I did not replace the HO2 sensor again because it's a week old and I just didn't want to throw another $170 at the motor just yet. Ran the boat and the alarm comes on still. Will replacing the brand new HO2 sensor with another new one fix the problem or am I stuck with this problem. Is there anything else I can do? I have researched this and saw that many people have this HO2 sensor alarm issue, but I can't seem to find anyone who completely fixed the problem. I saw something about SB 70 and 71, but couldn't find if this is the fix for my 2003 BF225 HO2 sensor issues?
