Try to clean it up with carb cleaner.It might work.

If not,you can always buy a new one and always go with oem Bosch.

Code book says this:
Po140 rear heated oxygen sensor (Ho2s)aging...signal too high,intermittent fault.

So...because of intermittent fault,it could be connectors.Check them,and if they are ok,try to clean the sensor.

On many there was a recall to add a jumper harness on the rear sensor - double the connectors and you double the opportunity for a bad connection.
