SES code, P0430 just after last weeks P0161 i know someone here can help me.
my 02 SS threw a hard code P0161, bank 2, sensor 2,
so i put a new 02 sensor on passenger side after the cat.
SES light went out shortly after restart.
drove car to/from work all last week and sunday
the SES comes on again. Stays on. This time
I get P0430, Bank 2,
I reset and it coded the next day on cold start up.
My question is: Is P0161 the 02 sensor before the cat
on the passenger side ?
Why would the two fail within a week ? Coincidence ?

Re: SES code, P0430 just after last weeks P0161 heres how it is
bank 1 is driver side
bank 2 is passenger side
sensor 1 is before the cat
sensor 2 is after the cat.
the problems is, is that a P0430 is your bank 2 converter having a problem. the HO2S bank 2 sensor 2 is always monitering the converter to see if it is working properly. in your case you have a problem. if you dont have any engine mods, i can reaplace this under warrenty, but you have to tell me all of your mods. i also work here in corpus so you would have to make the trip and we will probably have to order the part. let me know.

Re: SES code, P0430 just after last weeks P0161 thanks for the info. Munday chev here put in a complete new LS1 at 35,805 miles under warranty do to excessive piston slap. 4 cylinders out x .002 top to bottom.
i guess i have no choice but to take it in and probably shouldn't have replace the #2 sensor, P0161 bank 2, sensor 2, cause it appears now the problem is more widespread since now i have the P0430
really, thanks for taking the time to reply
