Default O2 Sensor Fault

Hi Guys. Need help with error i'm getting via OBD II and Torque on my 2004 F150 Lariat 5.4. 65k miles

A little history first in case it matters, this truck belonged to my father who passed away last November. Other than my sister driving it to work once per week, it's sat in the garage for the last 6 months. I've been driving it 60 miles per day for the last several days 90% interstate - idles smooth, runs out smooth (haven't placed it under a load) and is getting around 18 MPG via the info center. Running 60 down the highway when i read this error. Thanks.

MID:$03 TID:81
O2 Bank 1 Sensor 3

Min:0.23A Max:3A
Current:0A

I assume that the error is thrown due to no current voltage being detected. What's the fix for this?

Where is sensor 3? Thought there was only one before and one after cat? And where is bank 3? We only have 2?

Yup, I get the same red X in Torque for the first and second bank, "sensor 3" - but primal is right, there is no sensor O2 sensor "3", hence 0 amps.

Bank 1 sensor 1, before cat, Bank 1 sensor 2, after cat..etc.

I wish Torque would let us eliminate those obviously wrong tests from the PIDs but it is what it is...
