    O2 sensor heater failures are quite common in my experience. It's a high resistance circuit that's on all the time when the vehicle is running, the heater elements go from being very hot to very cold in the winter time, I suspect these heat cycles eventually wear the elements down and as a result they eventually fail. No matter what the cause a quick check of the heater circuit can save you a lot of trouble down the road so the next time you run into an O2 sensor heater failure code I suggest you do this quick check before replacing a sensor. You might also want to check out the article that I wrote above for more information on O2 sensor operation and why they use a heater inside them.

    I bought a new Bosch O2 sensor online, got it in the mail, put it in the car, and got the P0141 code. Thanks to this video, I was able to identify and then test it's heater wires resistance vs the original sensor (which worked fine, I just couldn't get it out of the old cat, which was the broken part I was replacing) and saw it wasn't holding a steady ohm reading like the original sensor was. I replaced the Bosch with another new Bosch, tested it before installing, and it was holding a steady resistance. Installed it - no more CEL. Thanks again Eric, you made my day!

    Eric, I have a 98 Toyota Corolla and my Downstream sensor has been showing and engine light for about 2 years now. I was told not to worry about it by two different Auto Parts places when they check the code. Recently though a few times I have had trouble when the car was cold the most recent time the car went fine at very slow speed but as soon as you press on the gas it didn't want to go anywhere! It also has a 4-wire harness set up to the oxygen sensor. Now this makes perfect sense to me why the car runs fine when the car is warmed up and I get crappy runs at times when it's cold. It's the internal heater on the O2 sensor that has gone bad!
    Thank you so much for this video and the explanation. Unfortunately on my car they say you have to pull the seat out in order to change it and hopefully it doesn't break or strip the threads when my mechanic changes it out. Unfortunately this means big bucks for the labor but I cannot do it at myself at this point due to health concerns. Thanks again for letting me know why my sensor went bad this was the best video I have found about this subject period.

    Thanks for your informative video. I used your approach successfully on my 1998 RL. A couple of points. Move both the top and bottom of the passenger seat as fa forward as possible. Instead of lowering via hanger knock down, remove the heat shield (looks like about 8 10mm bolts). This allows you much better access to the sensor and prevents damaging the rubber doodads. Finally, be careful with after market O2 sensors. Mine while very cheap at $33,, had slightly different threads which made it almost impossible to install.

  • @DrHook1020

    Eric, I want to thank you SO much for all the info you've given in this video. I've searched for about half an hour before I saw your video and all I could find out was to test the resistance in the O2 sensor, but they didn't tell me HOW to do it. Not only did you tell us how, but you SHOWED us how. I have an '01 Honda CRV 2.0 liter 4-cyl. with the P0141 code and I will now try to determine (using your tutelage!) whether or not I'll have to replace the sensor or if I have a bigger problem. I also have a misfire in all four cylinders and a random cylinder misfire code P1399, so I'll be looking for more of your videos. Thank you VERY much! Your info and video could not have been better.

    I had this same code. I replaced the 02 sensor and reset the check engine light. The code came back immediately. I took the new 02 sensor out and checked the ohm. The brand new Bosch sensor was reading 186.5! I went back to the parts store and swapped it out. I checked the second one at the counter. It read 2.6. Went home and installed the second new one. No issues so far. I waisted several hours looking for a short in my wiring. Tip of the day, check all new sensors before you install them!

    This is the part of working on cars I hate the most. A simple repair like an O2 sensor ends up meaning partially dropping the exhaust for the "easy" option.
    I just changed the water pump on my '04 GMC and was greeted with the P0161 code. I can't imagine how I damaged any wiring replacing the water pump, but at least now I know how to test the sensor. Thank you!

    Eric thanks for all the lessons. I have learned so much from you. I recently had this code on my 99 grand am se. I tested the resistance on the 02 sensor and I was getting about 7 ohms on my meter. I tested the 02 sensor and I'm getting 7 ohms resistance. I tested a new sensor and I get 5 ohms. I tested the connector going to the 02 sensor and I get voltage but it was not always present even with car hot and running. is it suppose to always receive voltage once the car is warm?

  • @Ivftinianvs
    @Ivftinianvs Před 3 lety +1

    Tip: If anyone is having trouble breaking an O2 sensor loose, this worked for me: Soak it for a couple of days with liquid wrench (penetrating oil). Then, run the engine until at operating temperature. This uses heat from exhaust gases to expand the manifold or exhaust pipe or cat to make it less tight on the sensor's threads.

  • @mikewright7236
    @mikewright7236 Před 9 lety +6

    I had the same code once.. I crawled underneath it and found the O2 sensor (lucky for me I had a service manual or id never known which one). The wiring looked suspect at the connector. I took them out, re-spliced them, reconnected them, cleared the code, all is well. I almost bought a new O2 sensor before this, glad I didn't. Those babies are expensive

    Replaced both B1S1 and B1S2 sensors with NGK. I read that they are the same brand as the originals (Dodge Dakota). After 200 miles, CEL comes on, indicating P0135 and P0141. Translation: Heater circuit for both O2 sensors. Is this another issue like running Bosch versus factory original sensors in a Chrysler product? I had replaced both sensors due to a P0420 code originally(Catalyst efficiency).

    Hey Eric quick question! 🙋🏻‍♂️- I have an ‘05 Acura TL and my O2 sensor has 5 pins! Solid blue, solid yellow, solid black, solid, white, and a solid light gray. I think I figured which are power, ground and signal, but my oms reading says 3.5♎️. On my vehicle harness side I am getting 12v power so I known harness is good. I am getting that P0141 and P0161 for bank 1&2. If I get any kinds of resistance from sensor, should I assume is good or is there a range for what would be considered a good and bad sensor? Thanks for all your videos and help!

  • @kengodoy7417
    @kengodoy7417 Před 9 lety

    Great video and tutorial, thanks!
    Had a P0161 code, O2SB2S2 on my 2004 Toyota Highlander 2.4L. Was told a good way to narrow down if only the sensor is bad and not something upstream, I could swap O2 sensors to see if the code would jump to the other bank; luckily on this vehicle it was an easy swap, Swapped sensors, sure enough, the P0161 code went away and got the P0141, O2SB1S2. Now I know for sure the sensor is bad and not something controlling it.
    A bit unorthodox, but effective. Thx again for your videos.

  • @davidle7063

    Hi Eric. Thanks for the videos. Is there something about "slow" and "fast" OBD2 scanner? I am using an amateur $30 Autel MaxiScan scanner. I observed the pre-cat O2 sensor cycle from ~ [0.2-0.7] V but in slow pace, about 1 cycle per second regardless at at idle or 2500 rpm. Coolant temp is 190F after a long drive. I saw people 's demo with slow and fast waveforms according to idle and high rpm modes with different scanner.

Question 1: Can it be replaced with a sensor from other manufacturers? Will it affect the car performance ? Which ones would you recommend?
    Question2: This is an upstream sensor. Can it be replaced with the downstream sensor? What is the difference? The downstream one is significantly cheaper

    Eric, I watched this whole video (top-notch, like all your videos), but unfortunately, it didn't address the problem I have, so I was hoping you could help point me in the right direction. I have a 2001 Ford Taurus (3.0 6V) and am getting two rear O2 sensor heated circuit malfunction codes: P0141 and P0161. Recently had to replace the torque converter, so tranny was in/out/in. Shortly thereafter the B1S2 threw the heater malfunction code, so I replaced it with a new one. Two ignition cycles later, the code returned with the B2S2 joining in. Can you give me a methodical process to trace the harness side wiring?

  • @LooK253

The problem is I have never disconnected the battery, cleared the codes, jumped another vehicle or any thing else that would effect the monitor readiness. And I drive it everyday all over, mimicking many different drive cycles. I was told that a lot of times if the cigarette lighter is not working, the memory could be malfunctioning . Could this be a blown fuse? I'm wondering if this is true and if so do you know of any way to confirm this or any other or things that could be effecting the monitor readiness?

      The bad thing that you learn is that when the engine and all that stuff is put together they make it easy on themselves so as to cut costs. That sensor isn't all that bad, they are way more worse things to have to get to to change/diagnose a part(s). Yeah, it sucks, but they aren't going to change. When/if you check into what parts cost and labor cost to do a job you will find that you will save hundreds for not all that much work. The more you do the easier it gets.

    If the fuel pressure regulator vacuum diaphragm leaks it will leak raw gasoline into the vacuum line. GM has had a lot of problems with the fuel pressure regulators leaking like this and not setting any codes. Hot engine restarts are a problem though because the raw gasoline through the vacuum line can flood the engine. Scanner Danner did a video dealing with this problem and how to check it out.

    first question... 2 out of 3 codes are the same.. why i do have (2x) code P0173
    the car is smoking white + water
    the car is working fine, the engine idle fine, never over heats, coolant stay full, i checked the coolant cap,oil cap, deep stick.. no signs of blown head gasket..the guy that 1st own the car,. says i just need to change the o2 sensor..
    2nd question. can a o2 sensor cause white smoke + water and also can o2 sensor cause those 3 codes?
    3rd question what should i do?
    thanks....

  • @metalmaniac375
    @metalmaniac375 Před 9 lety +1

    I was always told that the downstream sensor does not affect fuel trims or mileage and that is Not true! The first purpose of the downstream 02 sensor is to measure cat efficiency. The second function is downstream fuel control. This function adjusts the upstream 02 goal voltage within the range of operation of the upstream sensor. The upstream goal voltage is used to ensure long cat life by allowing the PCM to control the amount of air and fuel that is supplied to the cat. If the downstream 02 sensor switch point is at a low voltage the PCM will adjust the upstream 02 goal voltage to reduce high 02 content by . If the downstream 02 sensor switch points stays high, the upstream 02 sensor goal voltage will change and allow a low 02 content. I had a downstream fixed on rich and the negative fuel trims was 25 percent or more, so yes this definitely effects fuel trim and gas mileage.

      I immediately noticed after the installation of the new sensor that fuel trims changed. Small minor differences that were hard to pick up on without having a year of experience watching live data.
      Initially I lost 2 miles per gallon because the PCM kept running testing to be sure it liked the catalytic converter, which it could finally "see". Now I think my miles per gallon is up, but it takes time to get enough data to be sure.

    Hey Eric so does this apply to a 2005 4 cyl accord?

    If you have a sticking o2 sensor, put some brake fluid in a spray bottle, and spray the threads. It works AWESOME !! We do it all the time at work, and it works.

    Thank you I'm very big fan of your videos and recently i did 100k tune up to my Camry 2000 LE 4 cylinder - spark and wire change, radiator flush, power steering flush, air filter , pcv value, body throttle clean, synthetic oil engine and car ran excellent 1000 miles and all of sudden i see check engine light is ON and I changed gas cap and also observed i missed to connect one hose that connects to Air filter box. please suggest how can I clear check engine...

    Hi Eric, hey I have a problem with my o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2, it reads low voltage circuit, I compare with bank 2 sensor 2 and the readings are the same, but I have no codes related to bank 2 sensor 2, any tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance 👍👍👍

  • @CENTAUR559

    can the sensors be interchangeable if it's the same bank with the same type of plug? Like using a sensor 1 on the sensor 2?

    Hi Eric thank you for videos. I had test for the ny state inspection. The machine
    generates two msgs and failed the test. The msgs are monitor catalyst not ready and monitor o2 not ready , I drove more than 100 miles and test again still failed.
    Is this sensor or computer connection problem , I dont know what to do . I need your advise.

    I have 98 f150 xlt I had codes p0171 and p0174 so I looked for a vacuum leak. I found that the pcv valve hose was completely rotten so I replaced it. I cleared those two codes then went for a drive. When I got back I checked the codes again and p0171 and p0174 had returned along with p0161. I'm going to change the O2 sensor and go from there I think. Any suggestions?

    @christheother9088 Před 8 lety

    Had some work done recently and my Santa Fe came back with an O2 sensor code. Turned out the tech had plugged in the the sensor upside down. Fortunately it was the easy one you can just reach down and grab at the front. Pays to check the easy stuff first.

    Hey eric, been watching your vids for a decade, i have a 2003 jeep wj with the 4.slow, 99k miles, i have 141 and 161 coming on at the same time, changed relay, o2 sensors, light was off for a few days and when it came to the heater monitor it triggered my light again.. I'm confused, is it my cats or ecu?

  • @idoaricha1
    @idoaricha1 Před 11 lety

    Eric, just FYA , if you want to check high resistance with you multimeter DON'T put it on "continuity test" !!! continuity test if only test short circuit and beep when it reads a curtain low value. if it higher than about 2k it's going to show infinate resistance. so if if you want to check high resistance put you meter on 20Mohm mode.

    Would this be the same thing as the P1148 Nissan O2 Code, the diagnostic test states "Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 Bank 1 Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit is open or shorted Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit electrical connection" I have already replaced the oxygen sensor but the check engine light remained. I am not sure what the problem may be? Would anyone know?
