P0153 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
Oxygen sensors measure the amount of oxygen present in exhaust gases. The sensors continuously send this information in the form a voltage to the Powertrain Control Module. This information is used by the Control Module, in conjunction with other data ...
P0133 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
Oxygen sensors measure the amount of oxygen present in exhaust gases. The sensors continuously send this information in the form a voltage to the Powertrain Control Module. This information is used by the Control Module, in conjunction with other data ...
P0161 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2, Sensor 2) Fault: What is it?
The fault code P0161 is a “Malfunction of the Oxygen sensor Heater Circuit” (Bank 2, Sensor 2). Bank 2, Sensor 2 will alert you to an issue with the heater circuit for the oxygen (O2) sensors. Modern oxygen sensors are ...
P0140 ECM Detects No Activity or Abnormal Voltage From the Downstream Oxygen Sensor (Sensor 2, Bank 1) Fault: What is it?
Engine control modules (PCM/ECM/ECUs) rely on oxygen sensors for adjusting engine performance and controlling emission levels. The PCM will display fault code P0140 if the oxygen sensor downstream from the catalytic convert (Sensor 2). This is a weak or non-functioning ...
P0037 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2) Fault: What is it?
To operate efficiently, an engine must have the correct air-fuel ratio. The PCM/ECM (powertrain control module) decides how much fuel is injected into the engine. The sensors around the engine help it calculate the correct levels. The oxygen sensor (O2) ...
P0131 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
Oxygen sensors are used to measure the amount oxygen in exhaust gases. The Powertrain Control Module of your vehicle (PCM/ECM/ECU), calculates fuel control using the signal received from the oxygen sensor located upstream (sensor 1), which is located before the ...
P0137 Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2) Fault: What is it?
The main computer of your vehicle (PCM/ECM/ECU), triggers the fault code P0137 if it detects an oxygen sensor voltage below the pre-programmed parameters by the manufacturer for a period of time. The code indicates an excess of oxygen in exhaust ...
P0132 O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
A burning engine fault lamp, increased fuel consumption and an irregularly running motor can all indicate a number of problems. If you receive a P0132 error code on your OBD-II scan, this means that there is an oxygen sensor problem. ...
P0155 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
The heated oxygen sensor is more likely to be installed in a modern car than the standard oxygen sensor. The sensor can reach its operating temperature faster because of the heating element. The PCM will store the P0155 code in ...
