Here is some information for the code you have. O2 sensor 2/2 if the lower one on the driver's left side of the engine.

P0157-O2 SENSOR 2/2 CIRCUIT LOW


  • When Monitored: With the engine running, battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts, and no O2 sensor heater DTCs present.
  • Set Condition: The PCM detects that the 2/2 Oxygen Sensor signal voltage is below approximately 1.5 volts for 2.8 seconds after engine startup. The DTC will set as Pending after one trip and Active after two trips. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.
