Default What do these engine check codes mean?? HELP!

i recently have a engine check light come on and i checked it today for the codes and these two came up:

P0131 Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (Sensor 1) Circuit Low Voltage

P0141 Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2) Heater Circuit Malfunction

i dont know what they mean by low voltage and heater circuit malfunction?

Wasn't it you that had a problem with the harness? Are you sure you have the correct connectors plugged in?

P0131:
If the wiring/ECU turns out not to be the problem, then check the fuel pressure. If it's fine, then replacing the primary O2 sensor should fix the problem.

P0141:
If the wiring/ECU turns out not to be the problem, then replacing the secondary O2 sensor should fix the problem.
