DTC P0138 OR P0158

Circuit Description

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the
oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach
operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the
time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the
HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the PCM operates in
open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop is
achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias
voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.
If the PCM detects an HO2S voltage that stays above a specified value, DTC P0138 sets for HO2S bank 1
sensor 2 or DTC P0158 sets for HO2S bank 2 sensor 2.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Rich Test

The PCM detects that the affected HO2S voltage parameter is more than 950 mV for 200 seconds.

OR

Decel. Fuel Cutoff Test

The PCM detects that the affected HO2S voltage parameter is more than 480 mV for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

z

A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

1. Start the engine.

2. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature.

Refer to Scan Tool Data List .

3. Operate the engine at 1,500 RPM for 30 seconds.

4. While observing the affected HO2S voltage

parameter with a scan tool, quickly cycle the
throttle from closed throttle to wide open throttle,
3 times.

Did the HO2S voltage parameter change more than the
specified value?

IMPORTANT:

With the engine running, observe the HO2S Bank 1
Sensor 1 and HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 1 voltage
parameters with a scan tool. The voltage should vary
from below 300 mV to above 600 mV. If the voltage is
not varying, refer to DTC P0131 or P0151 .
