What are the codes

The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

If engine is damaged will check engine come on?

Check engine light will come on for various reasons. The o2 sensors could be one of them. If your belt breaks the light will come on and the engine will over heat.

How often does an oxygen sensor need to be changed?

Your O2 sensor is a "part that is designed to wear out". there is no standard on replacing them, but if your car is running fine, and your check engine light comes on, and stays on, it's probably an O2 sensor.
