Generally, if the code goes away and doesn't return you're good. If it returns, DTC P0130 HO2S Circuit Closed Loop (CL) Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1 means the front O2 sensor may be worn out. There's a heater that helps it get up to operating temperature and a failed/intermittent heater would trip the error code. Others may have a better handle on your Vue. How many miles on the odometer?

It has 62000KM (Toronto, Canada)...if it comes back should I just jump on the O2 sensor?

How difficult is it to change or should I just let the dealer do it

62k km's or 37,200 miles isn't a lot of mileage for an O2 sensor. The error may be one of those "oops" moments and if its a real error it would pop up almost immediately on the very next start-up. My guess is you've already driven around for errands more than once since resetting the SES light and this is as good as it gets - no return of the SES light. Replacing is relatively easy for a DIYer if they're not seized in place.

I had a similar issue earlier in the year returning home from a NJ outing with my nephews skiing/snowboarding - my SES light returned a heater code from one of the two front O2 sensors. Borrowed a reader from a co-worker and read the code, reset the SES light/extinguished the code and it never returned to haunt me. My O2 heated sensors cost $117 to $232 each!? :cry: Dodged the bullet for now..................

Thanks for the advice/comments. I will drive on and hope all is good for now. Cheers

Thanks for the info....I will wait to see if the code returns and then troubleshoot. Hopefully it does not. Cheers
