Default Help- Code P0031

My check engine light came on and I took it to Autozone per this forums suggestions---thanks.
My code came up as P0031 and I haven't found that code in this forum. Any help is appreciated.

The details: "The PCM has determined that the voltage signal for oxygen sensor 1 heater control in bank 1 is too low for the current engine operating conditions."

Is this something that should be replaced quickly?

Unfortunately I got the car in Oct. of 2001 so I'm out of luck as far as the warranty goes.
