DTC P0139 O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1 SENSOR 2)

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

CAUTION:

After repairing or replacing the defective part, perform the Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode .

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connector from ECM and rear oxygen sensor.

3) Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 18 — (E22) No. 4:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

• Open circuit in harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector

• Poor contact of coupling connector

2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.

Measure the resistance between rear oxygen sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(E22) No. 4 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.

3.CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR.

Measure the resistance between rear oxygen sensor terminals.

Terminals

No. 4 — No. 3

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Replace the rear oxygen sensor.

Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the fault condition, and reperform the check.

NOTE:

In this case, there may be a temporary connector contact failure.
