P0056 code. Potential costs?

[tgregos]

I have a 03S, with 42K. My CEL came on, and the OBD2 showed the P0056 code ( O2 Bank 2 sensor 2 Heater control circuit).

Does anybody know what could be my potential costs of repairing this fault. Engine is working prefectly, sound is still terrific!

Thanx

You mean P0156? right?

If so there is really not much to do.

Check the electrical connections to the sensor - clear the code and see if it comes back.

If so, then replace that sensor.

I think you may need a new O2 sensor. You should check with dealer first. Also, clear the code at Autozone or some place and see if CEL comes back. I don't know where Bank 2 is but I would change O2 sensors on both banks if CEL light comes back. But you can DIY the O2 sensor and buy generic part for $34.64 at http://www.speedyautoparts.com/find/index....p;model=Boxster. I know dealer part is very expensive (100-150 each). Do a search of the forum and get instructions for DIY. I think there are 4 wires and they can be cut and connected easily although I have not tried. Dealer part is just a snap-on but generic part is the same thing IMO, just a little hassle cutting the wires. Someone here may have done it and can certainly help you. Please keep us posted!
