O2 simulator
Check engine light is on and it is believed to be an 02 sim. Does it hurt anything by driving it? Its my dd and I don't exactly have access to a jack right now, so it will be awhile till I can change it. Do I need to change both rear sensors/simulators at the same time or should I just change the one that's bringing up the code? Thanks. keb

Its code P0161 -Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 2-B. Someone here already suggested that it was a bad o2 simulator since I have headers and no cats. The car runs fine, the only difference is the check engine light is on.

I burned up my SIMS in 3 months with the header heat... I have TPIS Headers and Gutted Cats.
After that I purchased LS1Edit and programmed them out...
No harm running with the light on till you get it taken care of..
