P014C Code - Oxygen Sensor Slow Response Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1
Quick Answer
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity. Common causes include Faulty Heated Oxygen Bank 1 Sensor 1, Heated Oxygen Bank 1 Sensor 1 harness is open or shorted, Heated Oxygen Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is Moderate - service should be scheduled soon. The vehicle may still be drivable for short trips if it runs normally, but avoid hard driving and repair it soon.
