I get that code all the time in my s60 but I'm not running a cat so my o2 sensor reads too much exhaust. If I had to guess your issue is either a bad o2 sensor or your cat is toast and you need to get another one. I think AutoZone sells the sensor for around $100. As for the cat you could probably find one for less than $250 at a muffler shop. Good luck!
