It could take 20-30 min or it could take days or it may never come back on. It could be something that happens in the rain or cold or heat. but if it is a hard fault meaning a problem that is there and continues to be there them 20-30 min should be enough. Chances are if the code reader says o2 sensor its probably the o2 sensor itself. o2 sensors go bad its a fact of life. But you never know, thats the excitement of the automotive industry!!!!
