Issue: P0141 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 1 Sensor 2
Code: P0141
Time: Wednesday, December 30, 08:36
Possible Causes: Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit fuse
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit open shorted to ground
Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
Possible Symptoms: Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible higher than usual fuel Consumption
Description: Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground.
The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.
Possible Solution: Check the "Possible Causes" listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.
