P0153 02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

Technical Description

The oxygen sensor circuit on Bank 2, Sensor 1 is responding slowly.

What does that mean?

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code that applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles. While it is a generic code, the specific repair steps may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

This code pertains to the oxygen sensor located upstream of the catalytic converter on Bank 2. Sensor #1 is the first sensor downstream from the engine.

This code indicates that the engine’s air-fuel ratio is not being adjusted as expected by the oxygen sensor signal or the ECM. It may also indicate that the adjustment is not occurring as frequently as expected once the engine is warmed up or under normal use.

Symptoms

You may not notice any drivability issues, although there may be some symptoms present.

Causes

A code P0153 may indicate one or more of the following:

  • The oxygen sensor is faulty
  • The wiring to the sensor is broken or frayed
  • There is an exhaust leak
  • Possible Solutions

    There are several potential solutions to this problem:

  • Check for and repair any exhaust leaks
  • Inspect the wiring for any problems such as shorts or frayed wires
  • Check the frequency and amplitude of the oxygen sensor (advanced)
  • If necessary, replace a deteriorating or contaminated oxygen sensor
  • Check for any inlet air leaks
  • Ensure the MAF sensor is functioning properly
  • Replace the upstream oxygen sensor on Bank 2, before the catalytic converter
  • Professional Service Options
