i had the same problem around the time i was selling the b4c, changed out the o2's and it kept coming back, ended up being the cat.

are you sure it's the passenger rear, bank 2 sensor 2. i know changing all the o2's is expensive as hell, but it IS regular maintenance and it couldn't hurt.

keep in mind the cat throws the same basic code. the guy at uh oh zone told me that more often than not that code IS the cat, not the o2.

you can use a sim for the rear but not the front. if i were you, change the fronts and see if that clears the light. if not, buy sims for the rears (they're fairly cheap) and it that doesn't do it buy a cat. good luck

What was the code? Maybe the 02 is doing what it's supposed to do - monitor the cat efficiency. (P0430)

P1416 is most likely a clogged passenger side air check valve, don't see P1418?

Edit: Maybe the other code was P0418 or P1415?

Probably P0418. Visit gearchatter.com and look them up for your year - both are secondary air codes, nothing serious.
