p0132 02 sensor ciruit high voltage (bank 1 sensor 1)

p0152 02 sensor ciruit high voltage (bank2 sensor 1)

p0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank1)

So i guess i have to replace bank 1 and bank 2 and i have no idea p0420 means. i guess i should go to the dealer and tell them bank 1 and bank 2 02 sensor?

No, truck runs fine, wouldn't even know if the engine light wasn't on. no aftermarket headers either.i reset the codes but comes and go's but now it stays on.just not sure if i'm doing harm until i can have it fixed.

the front 02's control the heart of the air/fuel mixture/timing/spark and what not so normally if they go bad, the vehicle runs like crap, mileage suffers...

I have to agree, it looks like both front O2s to me also but did this come up out of the blue or did you have CELs for some time and just scanned and seen both being bad?
