This is A/F s(02) sensor heater problem. The sensor heater current is too high or too low. This indicates an open or shorted circuit or bad heater.

It was my understanding this heater was located in the mass sensor this why i changed the sensor. I guess I need to find the wiring diagram.

MAF has a heated wire sensor but if the problem another code would have set.

These A/F sensors also have a heater! The typically have 4 wires running to them.

2 for the heater circuit, 2 for the sensor. All are contained in the housing.

If you have an amp meter can the current draw of the sensor. Below 0.2 and above 8A is bad.
