My 01 Q/C 4.7 2WD auto has been in shop about 4 times for this damn MIL light the first time they thought it was a loose gas cap NOT. second time couldnot find anything just reset computer and adv if it comes on again they will do a smoke test. well it came back on 3rd attempt a smoke test was performed and they supposely discovered that the fuel tank not holding pressure during evap test sequence was the cause due to one of the vents on top of the tank had popped out slightly. 4TH ATTEMPT, yesterday, fuel tank comes in they replace tank and less then 24hrs the freakin MIL light is on AGAIN!!!... this is so frustrating the same code has come on the trucks computer p0161 however tech says these codes are not reliable and their equipment show more information. this code if i recall has something to do with oxygen sensor bank 1 or 2/ rationalization code.. i have no clue what means? ANY ONE ELSE EXPERENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM OR HAVE IDEAS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM???

I wonder how the he!! the dealer coudl come up with gas cap or tank as a problem for a O2 sensor fail?? Try going to AutoZone and have them run the scanner on it to see what it really is, and see what they suggest to fix it. They will run the diagnostic for free and tell you the most common items will cause that particular code to come up. Might also want to check the vacume lines to make sure something hasn't come loose. Especially the ones going to the evap canister on the drivers side frame rail.

When you say upper right exhaust do you mean the passenger side exhaust manifold?
I’m having the same MIL code but my truck is out of warranty! And is that a dodge part #?
