O2 Sensor Delayed Response - Rich to Lean Bank 2 Sensor 2

Moderate severity

What it means

Post-cat O2 sensor on bank 2 reacts only after delay when mixture switches rich to lean. A drifted or sluggish lambda sensor lets the mixture run lean or rich without correction — fuel economy and emissions suffer immediately.

Is it safe to drive?
