Causas comunes

  • Faulty oxygen sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
  • Exhaust leak before the oxygen sensor
  • Contaminated oxygen sensor
  • Wiring issue to the oxygen sensor

Síntomas

  • Check Engine Light is on
  • Reduced fuel economy
  • Increased emissions

Pasos de reparación

  1. 1 Inspect the wiring and connector to the Bank 1, Sensor 1 oxygen sensor for damage, corrosion, or loose connections and repair as needed.
  2. 2 Check for exhaust leaks between the exhaust manifold and the upstream oxygen sensor, paying attention to gaskets and cracked pipes.
  3. 3 Remove the Bank 1, Sensor 1 oxygen sensor and inspect it for contamination from oil, coolant, or carbon buildup; clean or replace if contaminated.
  4. 4 Clear the diagnostic trouble code and drive the vehicle through a complete drive cycle to see if the code returns.
  5. 5 Replace the Bank 1, Sensor 1 oxygen sensor with an OEM or quality aftermarket unit if the code persists.
