Default front O2 sensor problems

Ever since I installed longtubes my check engine light keeps coming on and throws code P0134 saying my front O2 are not working properly. (the rears were tuned out) Are there any values I can check with my scanner to make sure this code is not making the car run differently/worse? (i.e. adding fuel/pulling timing)

thanks!

Have you replaced your front O2s?

Check your connections and wire to make sure you have not damaged them anywhere.

Maybe you got a bad O2 sensor now ??

When I installed the longtubes I put in brand new bosch vette sensors. They are less than a year old and I have already swapped them out once under warranty to no avail. This seems to be a common problem problem for people who live in a colder climate since the heater element can not keep up. I don't really care about the little light on the dash, I just want to make sure it is not making my car run in limp mode or something.

DTC P0134 HO2S Circuit Insufficient Activity Bank 1 Sensor 1

This is also known as "Insufficient Switching" Sounds like the Bosch 13111 fix is in order for you too. Here they are for cheap. On a side note, you can now sell your O2 extensions when you get these in, and offset the cost of the new sensors.

Thanks but those are the sensors I already have in there. I forgot to mention this is my first post but I did in the second one. I thought I read on this site that someone contacted bosch and was informed that there is nothing special about the vette sensors anyway.
