P22ACO2 Sensor Positive Current Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

P22AC indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a low current condition on the positive current control circuit for the downstream oxygen sensor on bank 1, which is sensor 2. The PCM commands a specific current to the sensor's heater or pump cell and monitors the circuit for expected feedback; when the current falls below the calibrated threshold, this code is stored.
