That code is for the heater built into the O2 sensor. Might be a blown fuse for the heater circuit, I'd check that first. Someone who has a 5th-gen should be able to tell you which fuse it is.

If the fuse is good and there's 12v at the heater power wires, then it's the heater which is built into the O2 sensor.

The heater circuit of the sensor should measure about 4 to 10 ohms.

Where can I find the fuse??

I've been looking all over the car, read the owner's manual and can't find the fuse.

It's fuse 33 in the underhood fuse box. (ECU fuse.)

Have you checked the resistance of the heater?

The fuses are fine.
I'm afraid that the heater circuit is open and have to change the O2 sensor...
I'm leaving the car at the shop tomorrow and let you know what happened

That's usually the problem with a code 41.

Got a call from the shop...
Gotta change the sensor ...
The worst part is the cost -&gt; 357U$S !!!! (yes.. it's Argentina where I live and imports are dear but this has gone too far !!!)

I'll definitely buy the sensor myself and see if I can change it.
Is it hard to change this thing??

Not usually. Every once in a while I get a tough one.
