What causes P1157 on a Honda?

Aging bank 1 air/fuel sensor responding slowly Contaminated sensor from coolant or silicone Exhaust leak diluting the bank 1 sample Corroded A/F sensor connector Bank 1 fuel control fault skewing readings

How do I fix P1157 on a Honda?

Compare bank 1 sensor waveform to a known-good pattern Smoke test the exhaust manifold and downpipe Check for coolant loss or recent silicone use Fix fuel trim faults first Replace the bank 1 sensor after excluding leaks
