Default ??? about o2 sensor install

I have a 2 bad o2 sensors in my 93' sc300... the CEL is on and I am curious...after I install the new o2 sensors, will I need to have the obd reset or will the CEL turn off itself?

thanks

I believe after a few cycles it will turn off. At least on the ob2 cars it does. You can always unplug the battery for a few minutes and it will reset.

If your CEL is on because of your bad O2 sensors it should go away after the install. It should be clear after the first turn of the key.
