Your exhaust system is broke up into bank 1 and bank 2 On a rear wheel drive this is usually driverside, passengerside. front wheel drive is more confusing. I believe this code is saying that your heated O2 sensor is not heating up fast enough. I would try to find a manual on your car to get more information.

I would start by checking the electrical to the sensor. You will need to dig up the specs for that. Then change the sensor if this is ok.
