Diagnostics:

Check the sensor values (using a tool like the Durametric software, read the sensor values to see if they are in normal ranges).

Test sensor wiring harness for shorts using a digital multimeter.

And yes, it is the sensor ahead of the cat on bank #1.
Thank you, JFP.

I'll check the condition of the ceramic.

I have a fairly decent multi-meter, though not schooled in its maximum use.

In your experience, JFP, when you've run across the same scenario as mine, what % of the time do you find that a replacement of the sensor solves the problem? I appreciate your candor, thank you.

Shout out to Gilles for all of his help replacing my transmission mounts... bracket not removed. His patience and attention to detail I found inspiring. Aside from the $75 muffler bolt... everything went not according to plan, lol. All sealed up then the 95 mile 57/60/10/62 trip home. Thanks, Gilles. See you soon.
