CEL CODE p0138: High Voltage

GOT this code today. Does that mean that the sensor needs to be changed or what?? IT says high voltage.. not that its failed. so im a little confused. I know when the front sensor went it said failure. What should i be checking??

Can you monitor the rear O2 sensor output with a scan tool or multimeter? Most of the time it does indicate that the rear O2 is on its way out.
