CEL, cant figure out the codes

So i went to autozone and got my codes pulled, but i cant figure out what they mean! I've been looking online for a code database type thing but cant find anything. Maybe someone has run into the same problem or knows more than me?

Code 1 (as it appears on the print out)
p0138
def.
BBH02S (RR) circuit high input
Probable cause
BB1- Short circuit condition
BB2- faulty H02s
"probably something with your 02 sensors"- autozone guy

Code 2
p2009
def.
BBVariable tumble control system (VTCS) - solenoid
BBValve circuit low input
def.
BB1 - Open or short circuit condition
BB2- Poor electrical connection
BB3- Failed VTC solenoid valve
"i have no idea what this means, never seen it before"- autozone guy


Help me!

The P0138 is for the rear O2 sensor. Its usually for a car that has had the CAT deleted (midpipe), but it could be a bad sensor, a bad ground somewhere or some other electrical anomaly.

The P2009 is unfamiliar to me, but it is probably something on the APV circuit. P2006 - P2017 are all APV faults.
It could be related to the electrical gremlin that is causing the P0138.
