97 escort has a O2 bank 1 sensor 2 code P0141. This tells me it's the after cat sensor but a friend says he has never seen one of these go bad. The car sat for almost two years after being used as a push vehicle. Anyway, can the O2 sensor be taken out and cleaned? I took it to get smogged and am getting 3 flags: O2 bank 1 sensor 2, O2 bank 1 sensor 2 heater and cat. The smog shop said that I have to get at least one of the flags to go away before they can test the car. Can the sensor(s) be removed and cleaned then put back in?
