How soon do I need to bring my car in with a p0158 code?

Question

My check engine light went on yesterday while driving home from work. I had just had a new battery installed 2 days ago. I am taking my car in tomorrow for other issues. Am I safe driving the car till then? I drive 30 miles daily round trip. I just mainly want to know if I am safe driving the car till then?

Answer 1

P0158 - 02 sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 voltage high

You can still drive , the whole purpose of the CK ENG LT is to protect the catalytic convertor, the catalytic convertor is use to protect the environment from harmful emission. the code you set is Sensor 2 what Sensor 2 does is monitor the catalytic convertor, Because of this code the ECM does not see if the catalytic convertor is doing its job. P0158 it take a computer just to inform you that you have a problem as there is no drivability when this code set.
