DTC P0131, P0151 [AJ] DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P0131
DTC P0151
HO2S (RF) circuit low input
HO2S (LF) circuit low input
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors the front HO2S output voltage when the following conditions are met. If output voltage is less than 0.1 V  for 41 s  , the PCM determines that the front HO2S signal remains lean.

    MONITORING CONDITION 

    • Fuel injection control system status: feedback zone
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the front HO2S when the following conditions are met. Under the following monitoring conditions, if the input voltage from the front HO2S does not even exceed 0.1 V  though the short term fuel trim is controlled up to 25%  for 9.6 s  , the PCM determines that sensor circuit is not activated.

    MONITORING CONDITIONS 

    • HO2S, HO2S heater and TWC Repair Verification Drive Mode
    • Following conditions are met
      • Time from engine start is above 50 s  (ECT when engine start is 20 °C {68 °F}  ).

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (HO2S).
  • MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunctioning condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction conditions during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • HO2S (RF) malfunction
  • Short to ground in wiring between HO2S (RF) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AK
  • Open circuit between HO2S (RF) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AK
  • Open circuit between HO2S (RF) terminal B and PCM terminal 2AV
  • HO2S (LR) malfunction
  • Short to ground in wiring between HO2S (LF) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AL
  • Open circuit between HO2S (LF) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AL
  • Open circuit between HO2S (LF) terminal B and PCM terminal 2AX
  • PCM malfunction

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
