P0140 code

So I recently got a protune and today saw a p0140 code pop up. I had read that it probably means something's wrong with the rear O2 sensor. Is this dangerous? Should I rush to get it fixed?

Thanks!!

I just ordered a Tactrix cable so I can maybe look at the tune on my laptop or maybe reflash another tune on there. I have inspection coming up in a month and it wont pass with a CEL.

That sucks man. I got tuned at Ivey and he did a really good job. I had asked him to turn off the rear O2 sensor and he did as far as I know ( I don't get the code telling me that my cat isn't working) But about a month later ( now) I got this code. So I cleared it, trying to see if it comes back on quickly, or if it takes another month to come one, in which case I have no problem clearing it every monthish. Just not looking to clear it every day haha. ( Have driven about 2k miles since the tune as well)

Sean: I cleared it last night and no sign of it yet, let me see if it was just a fluke, if it comes back on I'll give you a call. Thank you for the excellent customer service by the way

I'm sure it's a simple fix that can be done by any tuner. Good luck in getting it resolved quickly!
