Both codes indicate a a low voltage on the post catalytic converter O2 sensor
Check the wiring to the sensor.
An exhaust leak could also cause these codes to set

Any of the following issues can cause the codes to set
Most likely is a bad connection or faulty O2 sensor

  • Air leaks in exhaust in front of o2 sensor giving false reading
  • Engine running excessively lean
  • O2 sensor connector damaged/corroded
  • O2 sensor signal circuit is shorted to ground
  • O2 sensor ground circuit is open
  • O2 sensor has failed (it may be contaminated with fuel or coolant)
  • PCM has failed

Code P0157

OBD II P0157 due to Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2, Sensor 2)
This code refers to a fault in the post-catalyst o2 sensor on Bank 2. First, a basic run-down of the catalyst: The Catalytic Converter is used to help control tailpipe emissions, to "clean up" the exhaust, if you will. The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) uses the signal from the heated oxygen sensor to the rear of the catalyst to monitor the catalyst's efficiency by comparing it to the o2 sensors in front of the catalyst.
