02 circuit slow bank2, sensor1.....does this mean that my 02 sensor is bad? If so is this the driver's side front sensor? Can I test the sensor by switching the front sensor from driver's side to passenger to see if code follows?

Thanks in advance

Drivers side front air fuel sensor indicates the engine air fuel ratio is not being adjusted by the oxygen sensor signal or the ECM as expected to do so It could be the O2, the wires could be frayed to it, or that side has an exhaust leak.

ok here you go, you swapped your x, did you snap off the clips that keep the o2 sensor wires from dangling? on my car not having the wires teathered and kept from moving the plug alot i got those codes. as soon as i wired them up tight i have not got either left or right side code again . i bet that is your problem.

guess I will be crawling under to make sure everything is tight....yes I did remove the clips holding the rear wires in place, have to to make the connections from the 02's to the MIL eliminators to the harness, but I used wire ties to tie the wires up and out to the way behind the transmission...... the front wires still retain the clips. thanks for the help....if anyone else has any ideas keep them coming.

well here is an update....I cleared the code and so far it has not returned...the check engine light has not come back on. Still haven't had a chance to crawl under the car, but will do that this weekend.
