P2A01 O2 Circuit Range / Performance (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
Possible causes
Faulty Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1
Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
Is this perhaps the one you just bought the "OEM" denso and replaced?

alas it dont look good!
today i thought id try just the new sensor without the mini cat.
the sensor would not go in the bung.
i went down with my little finger and found the bung was all bunged up with what i assume is a chunk of catalytic converter.
i was able to push it back and i could feel a lot of other chunks of what i assume was more catalytic converter inside.
i smashed up some big chunks into smaller chunks with a screwdriver but im sure the only answer is another cat.
dr dome has said he can do the work and is a drivable distance so if mashing the inards of my cat doesnt somehow miraculously work....then engine removal is rhe only fix.....well ya cant say i havnt tried everything else... lol

Sorry to hear that. I bought a cheap endoscope so I could take a look inside. Fortunately, the cat medium was in good shape for me. I’ve read on the forum that you are able to get the broken cat medium out, a regular cat couldbe added to the exhaust system at a more convenient place. May be worth looking in to.
