Service Engine Soon Under Load

Service Engine Soon Under Load
I have noticed a trend with my 2000 Max (auto). When I have passengers in the car and pass someone the SES light comes on, and will not reset - it doesn't happen when I'm driving alone. The car downshifts, but the revs don't go that high - so I think the only real difference is the passenger load.
The first time this happened (about 3 weeks ago) the dealer replaced an O2 sensor at the converter and reset the ECU.
Does anyone know about this problem?

That shouldn't cause the problem... it might be a symptom but not the cause.
What code is set when the SES light comes on?

This problem is especially strange since I only have about 17K on the car, and no performance mods (unless you count the lowered cd due to Zaino).

Look for the TSB in the TSB sticky.

Codes
I got the car in today. The new code is P0158 - an 02 sensor I'm told. The old code was P0138 - O2 sensor at the convertor. I'm just a bit concerned about tripping an O2 sensor everytime I pass someone while my family is riding in the car. Anyone else had this problem?
