hard to say without diagnosis, if the light is off, then it is likely ok for now

TX again for the help,

Freeze frames mode on teh scaanner shows for bank 2 trim % -3.9 short term and .8 long term..
Wasnt able to run a test on this sensar..
The ecu cleared the cel itself..
What is my next step, check connectors as this related to a heater circuit in the sensar? clear the code or leave it?
