P0130
DTC P0130: Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit (sensor 1)Heated Oxygen Sensor (Front) Circuit:
CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is sent to the ECM
- Terminal No. 2 of the heated oxygen sensor (front) is grounded with ECM
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The heated oxygen sensor (front) detects the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas; it converts those data to voltage, and inputs the resulting signals to the ECM
- When the heated oxygen sensor (front) begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen sensor signal response becomes poor.
- The ECM
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Heated oxygen sensor (front) circuit is switched to 5 volts intentionally when oxygen sensor output is low, and detects the malfunction if the output voltage changes to equal or greater than 4.5 volts. The above procedure is repeated when oxygen sensor is inactive.

STEP 2. Measure the sensor output voltage at heated oxygen sensor (front) connector C-22 by backprobing.
1. Do not disconnect the connector C-22.
2. Start the engine and run at idle.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground by backprobing.
- Warm up the engine. When the engine is 2,500 r/min, the output voltage should repeat 0 to 0.8 volt alternately.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 3. Check harness connector C-22 at heated oxygen sensor (front) and harness connector C-139 at ECM
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 11.
STEP 4. Check for open circuit to ground between heated oxygen sensor (front) connector C-22 (terminal No. 1) and ECM connector C-139
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Repair it. Then go to Step 10.
STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 11: Heated Oxygen Sensor (front).

2. Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature reaches 80 degrees C (176 degrees F) or higher.
3. Rev the engine for 5 minutes or more with the engine speed of 4,500 r/min.
4. Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 2.
5. While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.
Standard value: 0.6 - 1.0 volt
CAUTION:
- Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen sensor (front).
- Be careful the heater can be damaged if a voltage beyond 8 volts is applied to the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater.
NOTE: If the sufficiently high temperature [of approximate 400 degrees C (752 degrees F) or more] is not reached although the heated oxygen sensor (front) is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low although the rich air/fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output voltage is low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No. 3 and the terminal No. 4 of the heated oxygen sensor (front) with the positive terminal and the negative terminal of 8 volts power supply respectively, then check again.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?
YES: Replace the ECM or the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO: Replace the heated oxygen sensor (front). Then go to Step 11.
STEP 11. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
1. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 11 OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern Lists.
2. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0130 set?
YES: Retry the troubleshooting.
NO: The inspection is complete.
