Check the connections to the oxygen sensors- bad sensors are one thing, or bad cat codes- sure they wear out- but then the wires are disconnected they will also fault on the pre-heat.

Normally one code triggers another, clear them and then drive and check as soon as the light comes on usually then you only have one code. my .02 fwiw

If you have a heater element 02 code the sensor is bad. the internal heating element is not working and no other issue will throw that code unles the element is bad and or the wiring is pinched.
