Default check engine light, code p0161 C

It just came on today after pushing the car a bit, I know this is the code for O2 sensor but I was wondering if there is some way I can clear the light without replacing the part

How much is it to replace? I recently just spent $800 to repair a few things on my vette and definitely wouldn't want to drop anymore serious cash on a car that I just bought

I cleared the code which got rid of the light, so far so good. Hopefully it was a fluke
