Could be plugged up spark arrestor.

The dealer can check the failure code to see which sensor failed. Turning the key off then restarting resets it and the failure may turn the check engine on again. It should be an easy fix. You may want to check the engine ground wire. Follow forward from the engine to the frame under the drivers seat. Also check the battery terminals too.

Here are the grounds. The spark aerator is easy to check just take the 3 bolts of the exhaust tip and it comes out

thanks ill check ground and spark aerater i wouldnt think it would be plugged just that i run down some roads 40-45 mph you would think
that would keep it clean i also run 89 octane all the time a guy that was ride with me said the back firing can cause cathltic converter to melt
it was getting pretty loud

With that many miles you need to check the air cleaner it should be replaced at 3600 . The spark arrester needs to be cleaned every 600 miles and if you never adjusted the valves it might need to be done.
