Engine Light - P0050 Code (HO2S Heater Control Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1)

[heavymetalthunder]

Hi all - was driving home yesterday and noticed the engine light came on (2004 E85 3.0i). No other signs of anything wrong with the car, seemed to be running as normal and fluid levels etc all seem fine.

I have a cheap ODB reader which gave the code P0050 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1. I've tried a bit of searching and it looks like a fault with the oxygen sensor - has anybody else had this issue? Is it an easy or expensive fix and is it advisable to not drive the car until fixed?

Many thanks.

Hi, this is going back a few years but I'm pretty sure it was an oxygen sensor replacement. I got my mechanic to check/diagnose and carry out the work.
