It means the post-cat o2 sensor is seeing a problem. This could mean that your cat is bad, or the sensor itself is bad. It shouldn't cause any drivability problems, other than the damn CEL glaring in your face.

it could cause a difference in mpg also. The front sensor makes the big changes and then after the exhaust passes thru the cat the rear sensor makes small changes and then communicates with the front thru the computer. Unless you are lucky enough to have a year where the rear sensor doesn't really do much. If this is the case you just need a functioning rear sensor and to hell with the cat.

If you havent replaced the front 02 sensors... go ahead and do that.
Should run ya about $120 for both sensors.

You might be waiting quite a while for an answer.

The thread is 4 years old and he hasn't been on the forum for 2 years.

The mb motoring cannon wheels are real similar to em but not identical, they do not make them anymore though :(
