Code P0161

[Ace117]

I have a 2000 GS300 with 123,000 miles. Code reads P0161. Can I purchase parts to fix it? Can I drive with it? Erased code and have driven 40 miles and CEL has not come on again, yet.

YES

What do I do to fix the problem with the car?

P0161 is a bank 2 sensor 2 circuit failure. You may want to start with that particular oxygen sensor.

Thanks Gordon for the reply. Still need to know how do I find that sensor? What does it do to car performance? Where do I get a new part?

Thanks, Paul
