You can google those codes and include YR, Make, and Model.

First place I'd look is the wire pigtails on the rear O2 sensors to check for any damage or discontinuity.

OBD-II Trouble Code: P0161 Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank2, Sensor2)

First i would clear the codes, and then drive around to make them come back to be sure.
If has android phone use free Torque app and watch the O2 sensors bounce between .1 and .9 volts. .5volts would be perfect world number. It changes as PCM guesses the need for more fuel. Lazy ones don't bounce as well as good ones. Assuming you have ODB2 car.
Good Luck.

The best way to reset codes is to just unplug the battery???

If you have nothing, no tools i would goto Advance auto parts or Autozone, they will clear them for free.

Go buy a tool that not only scans for codes but shows live data. You have a '96, so almost any code reader will work. But for the price, and if you have smartphone,

1. BAFX is $22 from Amazon and will read engine codes and show live data.
2. BlueDriver is $99 from Amazon, will read all computers and will datalog. (it does go on sale on Black Friday for $69 every year)

I have both, and like both.
