The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. If the code comes back, the problem is more than likely the front Bank 1 oxygen sensor. You will likely wind up replacing it but you should also consider these possible solutions:

• Check and fix any exhaust leaks
• Check for wiring problems (shorted, frayed wires)
• Check the frequency and amplitude of the oxygen sensor (advanced)
• Check for a deteriorating / contaminated oxygen sensor, replace if necessary
• Check for inlet air leaks
• Check the MAF sensor for proper operation

Try some WD -40 in the key hole. Spray a good bit in to remove any metal deposits.

Check your owners manual as it will have explicit instructions on how it works.

it could be consumed by the engine and exited out the exhaust pipe.

Like any vehicle problem, the car has to be tested using the codes that may be present If you have an air bag light on, the system has a fault & your driving with no air bag turned on to protect you
