P0161 Code

The engine Code of P0161 (02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)) has come up on my 2005 SRT6, anyone have an idea how to fix?

Swap O2 sensors to see if it follows that sensor, then if so replace it.Woody

I would clear the code and see if comes up again. I've had codes pop up and cleared them and they haven't returned. I think the ecu is very sensitive and doesn't take much to throw a code.

what woody said, swap the rear o2 sensors under the car, see if the code moves to the other bank, if so replace the bad o2 sensor, they are ~$120 for the rear o2 sensor
