I wonder if O2 monitoring will ever be complete? I can't really find a lot of information on that..... probably in the diagnostic manual... which I have been unable to find online as well.

It's beginning to scare me. The dealer said they could fix it for $89.00, but that just seems ridiculous. The monitor should run it's self test without any coaxing from a computer. If it doesn't reset itself soon I will simply go outside, pull the battery, and turn on the head lights. I can't see how that's any different than resetting the code with my meter, but I guess I can try that next week if this doesn't change.

Any other ideas?

Have you looked at the wiring on the O2 sensors?, Also how long were you driving when you got this data, I had a TPS replaced on a Jeep and I had to drive a good 100 miles at temp to get it to complete the test. Also your temp is just a tit hair above what would be considered operating temp ~180, if you have a colder T-stat in it (stock is 195) you could try turning your AC on to see if you can warm it up a bit.

Most decent places will do a free diagnosis on vehicles take it to one of those and see what they say, I have done it many time when I was to lazy to research something or could not find the answer.

The temp goes up to 195°F after allowing it to idle a little longer, I had started it up a little while before I captured the data. I plan on looking at the wiring on the O2 sensor tomorrow, but wouldn't it give some kind of other issues if it wasn't correct? Only place I know of around here that does free estimates is Conrad's, and I wouldn't trust them with my father-in-law's truck, let alone my own.

BTW, I've been driving for about 200+ miles. City/Highway combined. Most were over 20-30 minute drives at a time.
