Engine Warning Light - Should I Avoid Driving? (ODB2 Codes Included)
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2021 7:27 pm
Earlier this week my engine warning light came on 
I used an ODB2 port reader to get the codes, which were as follows:
P0055
Raw code: 0055
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), bank 1, sensor 3 - heater resistance
P0142
Raw code: 0142
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 3, bank 1 - circuit malfunction
P0144
Raw code: 0144
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 3, bank 1 - high voltage
P0142
Raw code: 0142
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Confirmed
OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 3, bank 1 - circuit malfunction
The earliest the garage can take a look is Thursday next week. I was planning on taking the car on a 120 mile round-trip to Silverstone on Sunday, but I'm not sure if this is such a good idea now. I believe the sensor in question is after the cat, so I wouldn't have thought driving the car will cause any issues, but as I'm not the most technical F-Type owner in the world, I was hoping someone more technical than me on this forum could give me some much needed advice!
