Title: P0161
Post by macroy on Jun 23^rd, 2007, 12:21pm

I have just done a scan and the only code that has come up is P0161 which I understand to be 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2) is this correct and what do I need to do to rectify this.Thanks Roy.

hi there

you need to replace the sensor on the near side (the rear one), but i wouldn't bother as it doesn't have control over the fueling/running of the car.

weren't you having other issues? nothing else show up? do you have a copy of the scan (was it ran with alex p's obd-2 cable?)

Hi,yes I have still got the problem with the gearbox it goes in drive and reverse etc but overrevs on gearchange but this has not given me a fault code.I used my laptop with an ELM320 interface and a free software that I downloaded from easy obd.com.Roy.

hi there

it was just because when using the ve software, gearbox codes sometimes only show in the enhanced mode.
