But if the HO2S 2\/2 (downstream) sensor is inactive, this code will be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HO2S 1\/1 is always on the same side of the engine as cylinder 1. This will be different on a Chevy or Dodge than on a Ford. But even on transverse (sideways) engines, the same rule applies, so make sure you&rsquo;re working on the proper O2 sensor before you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The O2 sensor on bank 2, position 2 monitors the catalyst efficiency of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converter\">catalytic converter<\/a> on that bank. If the pre-catalyst O2 sensor sticks or switches between low and high voltage at a slow pace, code P0160 may be set. Pre-catalyst O2 sensors typically switch between low and high voltage one or two times per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of code P0160 may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
