Issue: P0161 HO2S Heater Performance Bank 2 Sensor 2
Code: P0161
Time: Wednesday, December 23, 12:54
Possible Causes: Faulty Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2
Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 harness is open or shorted
Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 circuit poor electrical connection
Inappropriate fuel pressure
Faulty fuel injectors
Intake air leaks
Exhaust gas leaks
Possible Symptoms: Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible higher than usual fuel consumption
Description: The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies a bias voltage (approximately 450 mV) on the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) signal high and low circuits. When you turn the ignition to the ON position, battery voltage is supplied to the HO2S heater. As the heater reaches the operating temperature, the HO2S voltage responds by changing from a bias voltage range to the normal operation. Typically, as the HO2S reaches the operating temperature, the HO2S voltage goes from a bias voltage to a voltage below 300 mV. Depending on the exhaust gas content, it is possible for the HO2S voltage to go above 450 mV.
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.
