I have a problem with the car passing smog due to the CEL.

P0341 - OBD-II Trouble Code: P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 or single sensor)

P0141 OBD-II Trouble Code: O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

I have replaced the "Camshaft Position Sensor" Already and the "O2 Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2" which is After The Cat.

But before changing out the old O2 Sensor I used to have a different code saying

P0136 - OBD-II Trouble Code: P0136 Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank1, Sensor2)
Oxygen Sensor Circuit Fault, Post Catalyst or
Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

Now instead I get

P0141 OBD-II Trouble Code: O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

Any idea's for me? Thank You For Your Help!

Recheck the O2 sensor wiring. Did you use OEM or after market replacement parts?

After replacement of part and you are getting trouble codes for the O2 sensor so that is where you should be looking at.

Non OEM sensors sometimes don't work correctly. The problem could also be due to the wiring circuit and have you done as suggested?
