P223D — O2 Sensor Pumping Current Range/Performance (Bank 2)
The pumping current of the wide-band O2 sensor on bank 2 is in electrical range but plausibility check fails. Wide-band sensors use a pumping cell that adjusts oxygen concentration in a reference chamber; the current required is proportional to lambda.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
