Yes.
Bank 2 sensor 02 circuit low voltage.

Check wiring to sensor real good.
Have you cleared code and see if it or any other codes come back?

[9502chevy]

yes, after the i did the intake gasket i had the battery disconnected for two days. it came back so i had cleared with a scanner tool yesterday to find the code. the truck has 145,000, since the gasket leak was at #8 would it be wise to just change the senser or should the upper senser gone 1st. but i will ck the harness thank you. cjc

I always like to check the wiring and plug in to sensor first.
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

If you find the wiring OK I would suggest swapping both #2 sensors (downstream of the cats). If the problem stays on bank 2 after swapping the sensors then you have a lean condition on that side of the motor. Or if you get a P0137 after you swap the sensors then change the sensor.

ok, so i swapped the o2 sensers. i guess we'll see what happens next. thanks guys for the help. cjc

Glad to see people post back how it went and the fix and do the proper testing to find the problem.
