O2 issues

When I ran the diagnostics, a code came out with the message of " left bank sensor reading too high" for primary and secondary sensors.
No cel lights came out and it was by chance that this was read.
Anyone had similar issues and what was the recommended course of action?
As it is , the car runs ok and my recent plug change just last week has the plugs looking with normal wear and tear.
Any information would be helpful.

If the CEL wasn't illuminated then that means that it was just a one time occurrence. Clear it and see if it comes back but it shouldn't.

Don't replace sensors for the sake of changing them. If they are failing then you will definitely know with a CEL. Also look at the sensor voltage when the car is running with a scan tool and make sure that they are moving , voltage-wise up and down.

Now get that 82MM TB Kit and new tune already!!
