bad o2 sensor is pretty much the only reason for a ce code on a c900!
that said, "this easy car repair" might be a misnomer. The (original?) O2 sensor in our 1989 was so bloody seized in there that in spite of soaking in penetrating fluid, torching, + using a 5' breaker bar it would not free up... ended up dropping the entire exhaust (1 piece welded end to end), sawzalling off the front part with the sensor + after a lot of effort, managed to remove the sensor by drilling, then notching with a jigsaw, then clamping in a vice to crack out the remnants, then re-tapping the threads...
didn't even save much $$ vs having my indy do it (though I'm glad to have spared him the hassle even though I know he'd have it done in a fraction of the time + effort)... pretty much the worst diy project ever!
