Question Check Engine Light Help

Hi everyone, I own a 2001 Trans Am WS6.

My check engine light recently came on for an 02 sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 2). The code stated that this sensor has low voltage.

I first replaced the 02 sensor and cleared the code, but the check engine light came back on. I then bought another sensor for the fear of the 1st being broken, but that did not help either. No wires are frayed either.

Keeping all of this is mind, what are the other possible solutions to this problem?

Thanks!

You should swap the O2 from the passenger side, clear the code, and see if you get the same code when you drive it agian. If it follows the o2 then that's the problem, if it stays on that side, it's probably the wiring. You don't need to have the rear o2s, you can get a tune to eliminate them if that's easier.
