What does a code p0137 on the ECM mean?

What does a code p0137 on the ECM mean?

This rear (sensor 2) sensor is less active than the signal produced by the front sensor. However, if the ECM senses the sensor is inactive, this code will set. There may be no visible symptoms to the driver, other than the MIL (Check Engine / Service Engine Soon) illumination. A code P0137 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

What does p0137 mean on a check engine light?

P0137 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2)”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic.

What does p0174 mean on a bank 2 engine?

Basically this P0174 code means that the upstream oxygen sensor in bank 2 reporting a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10/V12 engines, Bank 2 is the side of the engine that doesn’t have cylinder #1.

What does p0141 mean in Powertrain Control Module?

Code P0141 occurs when the powertrain control module tests the downstream heated oxygen sensor’s heater circuit on Bank 1 and detects a short in the circuit or excessive resistance in the heater circuit. P0141 Symptoms Check Engine Light is on

What does the p0137 code mean on a car?

The P0137 code is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the rear O2 sensor signal voltage remains excessively low for an extended period of time. The heated oxygen sensor 2 (HO2S), after three way catalyst (manifold), monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank.

What causes a p0147 code on a sensor?

Potential causes of an P0147 code include: Unplug the Bank 1, 3 sensor. With KOEO (key on engine off) use a voltmeter to check for battery voltage present at the o2 sensor connector (PCM side). (You can also do this with a test light.

What does p0143 mean on an oxygen sensor?

P0143 Meaning The rear heated oxygen sensor (or sensor 3 for some vehicles), after three way catalyst (manifold), monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank . Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1 are shifted, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric, by the signal from the heated oxygen sensor 3.

What causes the O2 sensor circuit low voltage code?

This code occurs when the engine control module (ECM) sees the voltage of the O2 sensor for bank 1 sensor 2 below .21 volts when the ECM has commanded the fuel to a targeted rich condition on that bank of the engine. What causes the P0137 code? The ECM detects the low voltage problem and turns on the Check Engine Light.
