This is one of the most frequent OBD2 trouble codes. Read the full article below to know what it means, how to fix it, and what other codes may show related to it. It is a general term that usually implies that the heating element circuit of the HO2S has a problem. In modern vehicle engines, oxygen sensors with a heating element are widespread. A heating element is crucial to this sensor. Whilst an oxygen sensor was a single wire sensor in pre-OBDII cars; now a four wires sensor is more common. Two wires dedicated to the oxygen sensor and two dedicated to the heating element. The oxygen sensor warmer simply reduces the time required for a complete loop. The PCM checks the heater on time. The PCM checks the heater circuits continually for aberrant voltages or even for abnormal amperages in some instances.

In this case, the signal is higher than it should be. P should not be considered a breakdown risk. The HO2S in question is downstream of the catalytic converter and is mainly just for emissions purposes.

Drove it for a while and it did not reset so I tried the :remove the battery terminal and turn the key to start" to clear. It cranks but no start. Forum Jump. AVS Forum.
