Bank 2 is the bank that is farther back than the other when looking at eng from the front you will see that one cyl head is farther forward (closer to radiator than the other. this is #1 Bank) #2 is the opposite and sensor #2 is the one after the Catyliac Convertor towards the muffler. #1 sensor is between head and Cat.

SOURCE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, GOT CODES P0157 2 TIMES,

the bank 2 sensor2 is used to check that your catylitic converter is working on that side of the exhaust. without seeing the car and doing sensor tests, it would be a gamble to say replace the sensor. so you can replace it and see what happens or take it to your favorite shop for further diagnosis

2005 Dodge Durango 4.7L V8. Where are the Bank 1 sensors 1 & 2 located please?

Question turned around for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Bank one is drivers side.
Sensor 1 is closest to the engine and before the Catalytic Converter.
Sensor 2 is just after the Cat in the exhaust.

Same as this

https://www.2carpros.com/questions/where-is-the-bank-i-oxygen-sensor

More here. Check that the wiring is intact, as it is odd they have both failed.

Code P0157

OBD II P0157 due to Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2, Sensor 2)
This code refers to a fault in the post-catalyst o2 sensor on Bank 2. First, a basic run-down of the catalyst: The Catalytic Converter is used to help control tailpipe emissions, to "clean up" the exhaust, if you will. The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) uses the signal from the heated oxygen sensor to the rear of the catalyst to monitor the catalyst's efficiency by comparing it to the o2 sensors in front of the catalyst.

This is Bank 1 (closer to the dash panel) Sensor 2 (located after the catalytic converter).

---
Note: A malfunctioning front oxygen sensor may cause fuel trim codes to set.
  1. Several Diagnostic Trouble Codes use specific terminology to refer to sensor location. The illustration and key below explain the following terms:
  2. Engine BANK Bank 1 is closer to the dash panel, (also referred to as RH or right hand). Bank 2 is closer to the radiator, (also referred to as LH or left hand).
  3. UP Refers to Sensor 1 or "front sensor". It is located closer to the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
  4. DOWN Refers to Sensor 2 or "rear sensor." It is located after the catalytic converter.
  5. The following examples show how to interpret oxygen sensor terminology:
  6. B1/S1 = Bank 1/Sensor 1 = Dash panel side, BEFORE the catalyst or "upstream"
  7. B2/S2 = Bank 2/Sensor 2 = Radiator side, AFTER the catalyst or "downstream"

My 99 gmc sierra 2500hd has a bad o2 sensor sensor 1 bank 2 is that pass side front

bank 1 always refers to the bank that the No.1 cylinder is located and bank 2 is the other bank. Senspr 1 refers to the upstream oxygen sensor ( before the catalytic converter) sensor 2 refers to the downstream o2 sensor(after the cat) So if your No.1 cylinder is on the left side(drivers side) then your assumption is correct.

Po137/po157 codes no activity

P0137 / P0157-Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2) refers to the second oxygen sensor on Bank 1. P0137 means the O2 oxygen sensor's voltage remained low for longer than 2 minutes. This, is interpreted by the ECM as a low voltage condition and sets the MIL. Bank 1 Sensor 2 is located to the rear of the catalytic converter and should produce an output signal relative to oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter. This rear (sensor 2) sensor is less active than the signal produced by the front sensor. However, if the ECM senses the sensor is inactive, this code will set.

A code P0137 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

Faulty o2 sensor Exhaust leak near the rear sensor
Plugged catalyst
Short to voltage on O2 signal circuit
High resistance or open on O2 signal circuit

Possible Solutions…
Replace faulty sensor
Repair exhaust leak near the rear sensor
Check for restriction in catalyst and replace as necessary
Repair short, open, or high resistance on o2 signal circuit

I have a p016102 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 2 sensor 2) what does that mean

It basically means the PCM detected either an excessive current draw, or an open or short in the circuit powering the oxygen sensor's heater circuit. This is in reference to the Heated Oxygen Sensor (2) located rear of catalytic converter (Bank 2).

A code P0161 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
· HO2S heater power circuit open
· HO2S heater ground circuit open
· HO2S signal tracking (due to oil or moisture in the connector)
· HO2S is damaged or has failed PCM has failed

Possible Solutions
· Replace HO2 Sensor
· Repair open or short in power circuit
· Repair open or short in ground circuit
· Repair damaged connector due to tracking
