P0137

Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0137: Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2)) Circuit Low Voltage

General Description






The secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S (sensor 2)) detects the oxygen density in the exhaust gas and converts it into electrical signals. If the secondary HO2S (sensor 2) output voltage is a specified value for a set time, the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status






Enable Conditions






Malfunction Threshold
The secondary HO2S (sensor 2) output voltage is 0.12 V or less for at least 5 seconds.

Confirmation Procedure

With the Driving Pattern
Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the ECM/PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.

Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0137: Rear Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2)) Circuit Low Voltage

General Description






The rear secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S (bank 1, sensor 2)) detects the oxygen density in the exhaust gas and converts it into electrical signals. If the rear secondary HO2S output voltage is a specified value for a set time, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
