The vehicle runs well , Scanner shows codes p0153and p0133
Sometimes replacement O2 sensors take a while to warmup and sometimes when we replace the orginal 02 sensors with aftermarket they just don't perform as well as OE. I had the same problem on a different vehicle but after a long drive the codes went away and by long drive i mean an hour or two drive, of course if you don't need to drive that far just give it a couple of days and clear the code and see if it still persists.
I doubt it. Code 133 is for the O2 sensor that covers cylinders one and four, and code 153 covers cylinders two and three. The codes mean the sensors are slow to change. The sensors are supposed to change from lean to rich and back several times per minute.
When the O2 sensors read rich, the computer slows down the injectors, then when they read lean, the computer opens the injectors faster.
The problem could be a lack of fuel, too much fuel, or the engine is not reaching normal operating temp among other things.
You would need to use a scanner to watch the data stream to find out whats happening with the sensors and injectors. The computer would be the last choice for a cause.

Bank 2 sensor 2 is the post-catalytic converter O2 sensor on (usually) the driver's side. It's the sensor that the car uses to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Whichever side of the engine has cylinders 4, 5, and 6 is bank 2 (you'll probably find that information on a decal underhood). Flashing the computer could be as easy as what you're doing (resetting by disconnecting the battery), or it may involve a more detailed process including diagnostic software. It's most likely though that what you are doing is all that's required - disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or so puts the ECU back into learn mode, and it basically starts fresh to relearn the engine's operating parameters.

Drive the car for 2 miles non-stop and take it to smog inspection WITH OUT TURNING OFF THE CAR!! the key is that the car goes threw the test while the engine is running ...
if the car is turned off ... u will have to repeat procedure ...
SOURCE: Check engine light remains on.
u must have the vehicle scanned. autozone does it for free. once u have the code number, something like p0420, u can then begin to determine the cause.
