Order of inspection
P0153 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1) Medium
The P0153 code means the bank 2 sensor 1 oxygen sensor is responding too slowly to changes in the air-fuel mixture. The usual cause is an aging or contaminated sensor, although exhaust leaks and mixture problems can do it too. You can usually keep driving for now, but an upstream fault can raise fuel use and wear out the catalytic converter over time.
