First thing I'd do is disconnect you battery for 10 minutes to clear the code, then re-connect and start up the car and see if they return.

It is unlikely that both front O2 sensors failed at the same time. So a vacuum leak or any air leak after the MAF could cause the problem. So look for any disconnected or rotted hoses. A dirty MAF can also cause this code, w/o a related MAF code, so picking up a can of CRC MAF cleaner and cleaning it is a good idea.

If the above suggestions did not remedy the issue: (1) do you have a tune; and (2) have you done any major exhaust (e.g., LT headers w/cat delete or high-flow cats)?

Did you put leaded fuel in the car?
