Default help with code 41...

ok i got a code 41: "Primary oxygen sensor heater" umm i don't understand this code, i HAVE searched
and i can't figure out what to repalce...the o2 sensor is only couple mths old so i'm sure it's fine. The cel
only comes on time to time randomly, lately tho, last few days it's been on 24/7 so i'm sure the problem
is gettin worse, anyways what does this code mean and what do i need to do to fix it? Thanks

ok i c on some other threads here tht if the o2 sensor is good it could just be a loose wire somewhere
under the hood on a 'sub-harness' umm where is this located, and anyone got a pic of what wire/s i need to check?

btw:the car runs fine, neither rich or lean, and i have great mpg soo it's just electrical then rite?

last nite my buddy and i were cruisin around and my cel, the code 41, was on and off throughout the nite
and only came on after hittin a bump or vice versa...does this mean it's just somethin lose then? i mean
if the o2 was actually bad, wouldn't the code be solid till replaced? btw when the cel is on my mpg drops
significantly and it runs rly rich..
