Fault code P0141. Help wanted.
Hello.
New saxo owner here. Unfortunately after a few days of buying the vehicle the engine management light comes on. Great!
It turns out after a diagnostic run the fault code is P0141. An 'O2 sensor heating circuit malfunction'
From looking online it seems a fairly easy fix. But I've not seen it done or know how to do it on my VTS. Can anyone help me out with a few bits.
Is the sensor in the cat converter? Is it just a case of removing it and fitting a new one/resetting the code? Does the code mean anything more serious than just replacing the sensor? And last but not least, is the car ok to drive until I fix the error.
Thanks

Alright Tom. Yeah it's just the lambda sensor, no biggie. Still perfectly driveable also.
My EML light is on due to no second lambda because of the 4 branch mani.
Not sure if your car has 2 lambda's or just the 1. Maybe somebody else could shed some light on that.

Cheers for the replies chaps.
It should be in the garage by Thursday. Lets see if they try and charge me and arm and a leg! Probably something I could do myself but I don't know if I'll take the chance.
