Looks to be the upstream oxygen sensor. I checked the connector and other connections and it looks fine. NTK 24355 is the OE so I'm going to try one of those. Before I swap it out though has anyone ever tried cleaning an oxygen sensor with gas, throttle body cleaner, or carb cleaner and had any luck?
 
So of course after stopping at a few places, I start the car after the 4th stop and the light turns off. I confirmed with my Bluetooth OBD2 that the O2 heating test was completed. Here's hoping that disconnecting and reconnecting maybe fixed the problem
 
Ah, cars. As if I don't have enough stress in my life. So the light came on again and I decided to try to clean it. Stupid thing wouldn't come out and then it magically came out as I was re-tightening it. The threads look like there's nothing left. (apparently there's a rule of 1/2 turn left, full turn right to get oxygen sensors out). I got it back on a little but I'm going to pick up a new one and a thread chaser tomorrow and hope for the best. Of course this all happens a week after the 30 day warranty
 
Finally got this working. I had to get an 18 x 1.5 tap, re-tap the hole, and added some teflon tape to the sensor. I'm sure that wasn't the best idea but all of the thread sealers I can find are not oxygen sensor safe
