V50 Oxygen Sensor Heater Failure

My 2012 V50 gasoline engine (244719 km) has the malfunction indicator lit, with error memory pointing to an oxygen sensor heater failure. Fuel consumption is up. I suspect a cable or plug connection. Anyone else seen this?

I had something similar on my V50. Check engine light and all. Was it the sensor before or after the cat?

Good question. The error message isn't that specific. How did you figure out which one was the issue?

Mine was the one before the cat. Honestly, I just took it to a workshop. They diagnosed it pretty quick.

Appreciate the insight. Sounds like I'll get it professionally diagnosed. The estimated repair cost is around 95€, including the sensor. Beats chasing ghosts blindly. Thanks!
