IT MEANS THAT THE O2 SENSOR HEATER HAS A MALFUNCTION ON CYLINDER BANK2 SENSOR2. AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SOMETIMES IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE AN O2 SENSOR AND CLEAN IT SO THAT IT PRODUCES THE PROPER VOLTAGE. THEY ARE COSTLY BUT ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ENGINE. I HOPE THIS CLARIFIES SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE PERTAINING TO ENGINE CODES. LET ME KNOW. BEST OF LUCK

P0161 code is O2 heater circut Sensor 2 Bank 2. Look under vehicle for any O2 wiring that is damaged. If o/k remove O2 and clean. Reinstall, clear code and roadtest. If code comes back, replace O2. Sensor 2 is the O2 behind the CAT. Bank 2 is the side of the engine that does not contain No 1 cyl.

My 2001 dodge Dakota with 4.7 engine. The check engine light came on and the code reader says that the engine runs cold to long. What does that mean??

probably means that the thermostat is stuck open or missing, the temperature sensor unit (not temperature sender unit) is faulty and needs replacing

2001 dodge dakota 4wd 5.9 litre quad cab

Well code 1682 is brand specific which means it has a different meaning for each brand.
The only thing I have on a Dodge product is a problem with the throttle sensor. It is more often a problem with diesel trucks but could also include gas engines.
You may want to check with the dealer or do some online research for the code to get more info.
I would doubt the code would keep an engine from starting.
