Check Engine Light /O2 Sensor, Low Watt... What to do??

Hey everyone,

I got a check engine light, brought to a mechanic and he said it was a O2 sensor reading low wattage...

Now my question is... Should I just replaced the o2 sensor my self or is it better off bringing it to a Acura Dealership? tipically can this lead to other major problems? or is this a common issue?

The car has 75K miles, for 2006 Auto TL.

The O2 sensor is plug and play. You literally have to unplug the old one, unscrew it from the exhaust manifold, tighten the new one and plug in the electrical connection. After you're done, reset the CEL. Which one is bad?

Please scan the car again and post the code. I can look it up and tell you which one it is.
