I’ve been having an issue with my car bringing on the engine warning light and displaying the emission service warning light. I know this can be a common issue however when I plugged the car into my OBD code reader it seems to show that I have a failed sensor. As it’s displaying fault code P0161 and doesn’t seem to be showing anything on Bank 2 Sensor 2. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? I’ve attached the read out from the code reader, any help would be greatly received. Also if it is the sensor which side and which sensor is Bank 2 Sensor 2 classed as?

Many thanks!
