2002 Honda Accord O2 Sensor #1 Heater Element Failure Code?

I have replaced the O2 Sensor first with an after market sensor and then with one from the dealer. This code keeps coming back up within seconds of starting the car. Is there possibly a fuse somewhere that also needs to be checked/replaced for the heater element of the O2 Sensor to work properly?

Update:

The code is as stated in the question - O2 Sensor #1 Heater Element Failure.

It is a 4 cylinder.

Update 2:

Yes there are 2 sensors. Sensor 1 is the one in the front (before the catalytic converter). Sensor 2 is the one on the back of the engine (after the catalytic converter).

Update 3:

Not sure if this is important or if this clarifyies anything better but the code number is P1167. Specific Description: HO2S Sensor 1 Heater Failure.

Update 4:

Turns out that along with the Bosch one that I bought 1st and the one from Honda were both wrong. I ordered one straight from Denso and it worked correctly. That part number was 234-9014.

There are 2 types of 4 cylinder engines for this make, model, and year.. F23A1 is the VTEC and the F23A4 is the ULEV VTEC. The O2 Sensors do not interchange. I was given the O2 Sensor for the A1 when I needed and requested the one for the A4.

    Dear Friend, remember there is two Oxygen sensors, you said that you replaced one, you don t said the code, maybe we can help better with the exact code, and i don t think that there is a fuse for those sensors, good luck.

    I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota and the same thing was happening. The fuse was blown and i replace it. It was under the hood in the fuse box.
