there is a primary and secondary O2 sensor yes but they should be alot cheaper then 80 dollars maybe for both would cost 80 . only use DENSO or NTK sensors honda uses both yours came stock with DENSO i believe.

You should read the code(s0 to confirm it may be an O2 sensor issue before buying any parts. If you get the heater codes for both sensors, it is likely the fuse 15 problem not a bad sensor.
