Help pls

p2A00.A/F sensor circuit range/performance (bank 1, sensor 1)
p2A03.A/F sensor circuit range/performance (bank 1, sensor 1)

I got these codes on my car. Just double checking these are the o2 sensors connected directly to the cats?...I installed Berk hi flo cats and the passenger side sensors was extremely hard to get off and I'm sure it got a lil damaged during the switch out..the threads were off on it while unscrewing it. I'm in the middle of getting car tuned with up rev osiris and needed to fix this CEL to have car running good again. Thanks for all your help forum members in advance! You guys and girls are awesome

Looking for a graphic for you but the first code is one I am currently experiencing. It is a pre-cat O2 sensor on the drivers side (P2A00). I wouldn't recommend anything other then OEM as a replacement for this.

Bank one means same side as cylinder #1 aka drivers side. Sensor one means first sensor in line to end of exhaust. Many things on the car follow this nomenclature.

Thank you urbanengineer!! Now my next question would this be the o2 sensor that connects directly to my hi flo cat berks? Or the PITA ones that are by the engines? Thanks again man you really helped me so far

no no no no no no no. Bank 1 is the passenger side, Bank 2 is the driver side.
The ones closest to the engine are called the "upstream" or "primary", the ones farther away from the engine are called the "downstream" or "secondary"

You need to replace the sensor closest to the engine, in the header, on BOTH sides. You also have the codes listed wrong, one of them is for Bank 2. The other possible explanation for them would be a large exhaust leak around the B pipes. If you had trouble getting the secondary O2's out when you installed the HFC and it damaged the threads so its not seating correctly and exhaust is escaping out the hole that could also cause it.

Send me a datalog and I will be able to tell if the sensors are shot or not
