O2 Sensor Contamination

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

O2 sensor contamination, caused by silicone in certain fuels or use of improper RTV sealant, may cause a White-powdery coating to cover O2 sensor. The false high signal voltage produced (or low oxygen content sensed) is interpreted by control module as a rich mixture, causing control module to set Code 45.
