Default Check Engine Light w/ codes

Alright folks, evidently the CEL turned on on my wifes way to work this morning. Here's the current codes off the IPC (all of them!) and I would greatly appreciate your help tracking down the issue. BTW, she said the car drove fine despite the CEL.

PCM
P0160 H C

IPC
B0521 H
U1160 H

LDCM
B2284 H
B2264 H

RDCM
B2263 H
B2265 H

Thanx folks. BTW I'm sitting in the car posting this thread on my droid (in the garage, not on the road). Technology is awesome.

Bank 2 Sensor 2? So, right rear (I think?)?

Hrm, $80 part at O'Reilly's. I can't imagine it'd be tough to change once I got the car raised up - but is it worth it for a rear O2 sensor? These can just be tuned out, can they not?

Okay Lucky, one final question then. If they can be tuned out, is there any problem with just leaving the CEL alone until I can get the car to a tuner, or if it might be a couple of months (car is a daily driver) would it cause enough problems to make it worthwhile to replace the O2 sensor?

If it's a rear O2, ignoring will not hurt. It's just used for measuring catalyst efficiency.

But if your state has emissions testing, it will not pass.
