02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

The heating element inside the oxygen sensor on Bank 2 after the catalytic converter is not working properly, preventing the sensor from reaching operating temperature quickly. A cold oxygen sensor cannot function correctly, and the engine computer cannot rely on its readings. This will cause poor engine performance, reduced fuel economy, and likely a failed emissions test.
