The O2 sensor is not used during start up. At start up, the ECU is in "open loop" mode and the engine sees a rich fuel mixture. After the engine gets some heat in it, the ECU switches to "closed loop" and the O2 sensor controls the fuel mixture ratio.

Find out what the code is, it will be stored in the history on the pcm.
