Code PO141 indicates that the heater circuit in the Oxygen Sensor mounted in Bank 1 (Driver's Side) is not working properly. The ECM has determined that the sensor is taking too long to heat up to around 600 degrees and then switch out of close loop mode. If the ECM determines that it is taking too long then a code PO141 will be set. Normally it is the sensor itself that is defective. Replacing the sensor normally will fix the problem. However it can be the wiring harness or a a bad connection. Check the wiring carefully and look for a short in the wiring. If you find none then replace the O2 Sensor. If this does not repair the problem do not replace any other parts. Time to take it to a professional with professional tools and diagnostic skills to find the problem. The O2 sensor is more than likely the problem but there is no guarantee that will fix it.
