Mmmm fault codes after resonator delete?

Had the resonator deleted and now throwing codes -


P0160 O2 sensor circuit no activity detected (bank2sensor2) and
P0140 O2 sensor circuit no activity detected (bank1sensor2)


The CEL does not come on though.

Potential causes of an P0160 code include:
  • Holes in exhaust near post cat o2 sensor
  • Bad Bank 2, position 2, o2 sensor
  • Wiring problem, melted harness, broken connectors, etc.
  • Bad PCM




The causes for a P0140 code are fairly few. They could be any of the following:
  • Shorted heater circuit in O2 sensor. (Usually requires replacement of heater circuit fuse in fuse block also)
  • Shorted signal circuit in O2 sensor
  • Melting of harness connector or wiring due to contact with exhaust system
  • Water intrusion in harness connector or PCM connector
  • Bad PCM


Good Luck

Do you think they would've disconnected the sensors when doing it?

Well since this happened I've been getting the best gas mileage ever - best is 11l/100km which works out to 21.3831mpg, this is on the freeway at 120km/h (74.5645mph) Think this has something to do with it or has the engine finally run clean of the crap oil the previous owner put in?
