If the sensors were replaced an DTC'S come back has to be a wiring problem or PCM ,
The ECM detects that the HO2S heater low control circuit voltage is between 2.6-4.6 volts when the heater is commanded OFF, indicating an open HO2S heater circuit.
Is the fuse open?
All four codes refer to the heating element circuit ! there is a relay in the under hood fuse box that supplies B+ voltage to the O2 sensor heating elements . I would change that or test the relay , videos on you tube on testing relays .

SOURCE: 2003 cts has oil leak

ok, woodhujr,if im not mistaken you had another help request of cranckcase pressure...that problem is causing your leak.
ccny, i have no idea what you are talking about, feel free to enlighten us...
Howard, the best advise i have for you in replacing the valve cover gasket(s) is to get a repair manual for this car/engine and follow the steps as outlined there. I couldnt try to give you step by step instructions in this little box without way oversimplifying.

SOURCE: where is bank 2 sensor one on a Cadillac CTS?

Bank 2 Sensor 1 is on the driver side - follow the right side of the engine down the headers which attaches to the catalytic converter. The o2 Sensor you're asking about (Bank 2 Sensor 1) is before the Catalytic. The o2 Sensor after the Catalytic is Bank 2 Sensor 2. Bank 1 Sensor 1 is on the passenger side as well as Bank 1 Sensor 2.

SOURCE: trying find my throttle position sensor on my 2003

Looking at the intake right where it goes into the manifold you will see where the linkage connects to the throttle. If you still cant make it out have someone rev the engine and watch it move. Right behind there on the same axis as the throttle is the position sensor. You should easily see the connector coming out of it.

SOURCE: how do i fix my 2001 cadillac catera idle problem

The problems you are describing indicate to me that you likely need to replace the coil pack that runs from the spark plugs ,and the plug wires end up at it.It also may be the spark plug wires,get a water bottle and spray the wires after dark and if you get a light show from them then replace them,if not,replace the coil pack.

Hi I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 with po141 and po161 I put two new 02 sensors downstream and the code keeps popping up what should I do next

You just made the single most common DIY mistake by replacing whatever part is listed in the trouble code. You didn't take the time to see that codes refer to a circuit malfunction. Check the fuse. If the fuse is good, get a wiring diagram and check for bad splices. You have a wiring problem, not bad sensors
