I'm pulling a:

P0138 O2 Sensor Circuit High Volts Bank 1 sensor 2
P0141 O2 Sensor Heater circuit malfunction Bank 1 sensor 2

I did some searching and found some people had this problem with their drive shaft shearing the O2 sensor wires. I checked mine and they seem to be in good order.

So that leaves me with a bad O2 sensor. I'm not one to throw the wrong parts at a problem, so I'm looking for other opinions.

Thanks!

^ Exactly!

I also want to save the frustration of trying to pull a good O2 sensor. They can be stubborn to say the least.

Hallo. Did you change the fuel? Did you use silicone or cleaner on the sensor or in the fuel or airsystem? Is the cat OK? Is the connector clean?
Than the O2 sensor is broken.

It was the O2 sensor. Fortunately it came out pretty easy for a 10+ year old car.

The trick to getting an old O2 sensor out is to get the exhaust real hot and break it loose with a wrench or O2 socket, then let the exhaust cool and turn it the rest of the way out.

If your new O2 does not have anti seize on the threads i highly recommend brushing some on!

And only anti seize that is marked O2 sensor safe, they come with it new out of the box.
