SYMPTOM
P0159-2/2 O2 SENSOR SLOW RESPONSE

TEST NOTE
This symptom is diagnosed using the test P0133-1/1 O2 SENSOR SLOW RESPONSE.

WHEN MONITORED
Start engine. Allow engine to idle. For 1st part of test, if limits are exceeded, test passes. If not, 2nd part of test runs. amb/batt temp >40 °F, Baro >22.13" Hg, battery >10.5 volts, MAP >11.79 & <18.85" H2O, RPM >1300 & <2000 and vss >20 and <45.

SET CONDITION
The oxygen sensor signal voltage is switching from below 0.25 volts to above 0.74 volts and back fewer times than required.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Intermittent condition
- Exhaust leak
- O2 sensor signal circuit voltage drop
- O2 sensor ground circuit voltage drop
- O2 sensor
