Code P0154

Good morning,

I attached the flow chart for the code, a picture of the location for you as well of the sensor.

This will not cause the car to stall. That is a different issue. The most common cause is a dirty throttle body.

I attached a guide for you to clean it up and see if that makes a difference.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The PCM supplies a bias voltage of about 450mV between the HO2S signal and low circuits. When measured with a 10 megohm digital voltmeter, this may display as low as 320mV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage within a range of about 1000mV when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10mV when exhaust is lean. The PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal during closed loop operation and compensates for a rich or lean condition by decreasing or increasing injector pulse width as necessary. If the Bank 2 HO2S 1 voltage remains at or near the 450mV bias for an extended period of time, DTC P0154 will be set, indicating an open sensor signal or sensor low circuit.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

No active transmission, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, EVAP system, EGR, misfire, IAT sensor, MAP sensor, fuel trim, fuel injector circuit, EVAP solenoid 0DM, ECT sensor, or MAF sensor DTC(s) present.

Engine run time longer than 4 minutes.

Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains between 400 mV and 500 mV for longer than 10 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.

The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Fail Records data.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has been run and passed.

The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal to wire connection, and damaged harness.

Faulty HO2S heater or heater circuit - With the ignition ON the HO2S voltage displayed on a scan tool should gradually drop to below 300mV or rise to above 600mV. If not, disconnect the HO2S and connect a test light between the HO2S ignition feed and heater ground circuits. If the test light does not light, repair the open ignition feed or sensor ground circuit as necessary. If the test light lights and the HO2S signal and low circuits are OK, replace the HO2S.

Intermittent test - With the ignition ON, monitor the HO2S signal voltage while moving the wiring harness and related connectors. If the fault is induced, the HO2S signal voltage will change. This may help isolate the location of the malfunction.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table:

3. If the DTC P0154 test passes while the Fail Records conditions are being duplicated, an intermittent condition is indicated. Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

12. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced, the new PCM must be programmed.

Good morning,

I attached the flow chart, wiring diagram for you for determining the failure for the code.

It seems I have posted an answer to this before but I never heard back on your results. Can you update on your results of testing?

This will not cause the car to cut off at all.

What were the results of the flow chart?

You cannot clean a O2 sensor at all.

Clearing the code without any repairs will cause the light to come back on.

Roy

I attached a picture of the location and circled it for you. It is before the catalytic converter.

You have 2.

Roy.

I posted it 2 times. Once on the 3rd and once on the 4th. It is along with other pictures.

You need to open the pictures and look at them.

Roy

As I stated, yes, you only have 2 sensors.

Roy

Okay. Try it and see.

Do not go by that. What was the spec that was on the flow chart?

Roy

Do 1 step at a time and if you have an issue, post back to me and I will help guide you.

Roy

You are welcome.
