How to fix error code P0140 on my chrysler concorde 1996 vehicle? Neither Rich Or Lean Condition Is Detected From The Oxygen Sensor 1/2 ?

that is not the OEM makers statement on P0401.
truth is this. V6 engine? 3.3L and 3.5L???????
o2 sensor circuit no activity detected bank 1 sensor 2)
means the right rear 02 sensor reads dead.

right bank down stream 02 is dead.

and has zero to to with rich or lean, it is the rear sensor 2.
the rear sensors are only to this bank1 CAT for good quality.
not told at all , what engine is there. v6 sure,3.3 or 3.5L
nor how the engine runs and car drives. ?
or if this is ONLY a smog question and check engine lamp glows?
causes of 401 are
wires to right rear 02 cut burned or damaged , loose or fell off 02.
bad o2 B1,S2 rear of cat bad
bad CAT bank1,
exhaust cracks in CAT sucking air and making any 02 sensor to read dead, near it.
this post ASSUMES , no other DTC errors stored or live running,
assumes scanned LTFT PID reads correctly and no B1S1 02 errors.(front sensor)
bank 1 or B1 is right front engine bank. (drivers view)
facing engine is left bank. (workers viewed)
ASSSMEs car is driven plenty not just parked in an old barn.
A DRIVEN CAR !

SMog tests fail too for monitor cat bank1 dead.
or incomplete status on bank1 cat.

I need help to confirm location of sensor 2 bank 2. CEL detect P0161. There are 4 sensors in which two are above the catalyc converter and two are below the converter. The part department staff says the...

that Toyota has a 2.4 l 2az-fe 14of 155 hp and ran from 2001-2007 after which a v6 engine was installed
the sensor is the one before the cat converter as it is a heated oxygen sensor (KO2S) and reports on the gas composition to the ECM for air/fuel ratio adjustments
the oxygen sensor (O2) is after the cat converter and reports on the cat operation
have the cat converter checked at an accredited muffler shop

USA smog fail, Canada/ UK whose? we dont know???

let me guess.. P07xx , see those are A/T errors.!!
no code , no joy.
nor is the engine type stated,.
nor which transmission.
that is correct, if the CEL glows running the smog tests is born DEAD.
HOPELESS case. that, so scan it, and post the DTCs.
we wait. now for ever just to get the DTC, post it for helpl.
or GET NONE!
some cars glow the OD lamp or the Drive light, to show errors.
if yours does, nows the time to say so../...\

if you came to my shop?
id know its USA smog fail. and CEL glowing.....all the time...
and open the the hood, and see what engine is there, UN-SAID.
and scan it and see the codes, and drive it and see the tranny (if A/T) mess up.
what codes are you getting?

1774 and 1775

There is probably no need to contact the BAR though you always have the right reserved. Trouble Code P1774 indicates your Mini's rear wheel speed sensor lost its signal, and trouble code P1775 indicates the right rear wheel speed sensor lost its signal as well. Both more than likely triggered during the dynamometer portion of the smog check inspection; while the front wheels are turning and the rear wheels are stationary. During this time, as far as the ABS system knows, the rear wheel sensors have lost their signals.
After a computer reset and driving your Mini Cooper for a few miles everything should return to normal, as apparently they have; and you've passed the smog check. Should the check engine light return in the near future for the same trouble codes P1774 and P1775 we'd recommend inspecting the rear wheel speed sensors for possible debris build-up. Since these trouble codes where triggered during the smog check and smog check machine failure we can assume the trouble codes were temporary and not related to any physical problem with your Mini Cooper.

Failed CA smog test "MIL/Check Engine Light", computer data wiped

No this is not right. If you remove the battery everything resets anyways. If they are talking about relearn procedure, it should only require 50 miles. But if the light is on than either they did something wrong, created another problem, or there was already another one existing. Have the code read and let me know what it is. I'm in Ca too and used to prep european cars for smog, so I do know what I'm looking for. How did the rest do? What were the readings(if possible)?
