Did it say if it was the primary or secondary (post-cat) oxy sensors? If the error is showing a post-cat sensor, then the problem could be with a bad cat converter.
Btw, this post is in the wrong section, you want the 4th gen section.

Its the sensors on the exhaust itself not on the cats,thinking it may be a bad ground?

You have two oxy sensors before the cats, and two after the cats. The two after monitor the cats to make sure they're performing as they're supposed to. If not, it will trip a code and the check engine light will go on. Those two sensors don't alter engine runnability like the pre-cat ones will. That's why you need to see which error code you get, it will specify which sensor(s) it is.
