Unhappy 98 XC70 P0131 and P0137 on help

Hi We replaced both oxygen sensors. The first plugged in 2nd had the be spliced. Before the replacement there was P0131 now 2 codes!!!!!!!! Help I am confused. The reason second sensor was spliced is because someone cut the connector!!!!Thanks

Have you tried clearing them and driving it again?
Sometimes the computer takes a few drives to recalibrate the repair.

Maybe it might be the sensor or how you wired it up.
Volvo's really do not like spliced O2 senors.

Possibly but then it would have had the 2 codes before instead of the one. That's why I was leading to the wiring.
But since it is a 98 if you can find a used computer cheap try it.
