CAT error code 18806 "out of range". Is there anyway to tell if this is a bad sensor

or bad CAT? Is it the O2 sensor that plugs into the side of each CAT? Thx.

Usually the 02 sensor...>>

Unless you're running a high flow CAT Rob...

Cats themselves rarely go bad, but we're seeing increased 02 failures as the cars age and accumulate miles..

I've run a high-flow Miltek for several years without a problem. I wonder if they are going bad?

if it is an early milltek it could be a 100cell>>>

they were problematic (spoke to Stratmosphere about that and they confirmed it)....

If it is a 200cell, you should be fine....if it was bought new, you should see if there is any warranty on it....

Could also just be a bad o2 sensor....
