DTC P0130: Front Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Circuit Range/Performance Problem - Except 2.2L & Legacy 2.5L M/T

  1. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool. If DTC P1130, P1131, P1132 and/or P1133 exist, diagnose and repair those DTCs. If only DTC P0130 exists, go to next step.
  2. Start and ensure engine operating temperature is more than 160°F (70°C). Operate engine at idle for one minute. Observe front O2S output signal. If voltage value is .85-1.15 volt at idle, go to next step. If voltage value is not .85-1.15 volt at idle, go to step  4.
  3. Slowly accelerate engine (five seconds) from idle to 5,000 RPM a total of 5 times. If voltage is more than 1.1 volt for more than a moment, go to step  6. If voltage is not 1.1 volt for more than a moment, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect front O2S connector and ECM connector B136 (30-pin connector). Measure resistance between ECM terminals and O2S connector terminals. See ECM-TO-FRONT 02S CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION - EXCEPT 2.2L & LEGACY 2.5L M/T  table. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in wiring or poor connection between ECM and front O2S connectors. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

  5. With DVOM connected to ground, measure resistance between ECM connector B136 (30-pin connector) terminals No. 6, 7, 19 and 20. If resistance is more than 1 megohm, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1 megohm, repair short to ground in circuit between front O2S connector and ECM connector B136 (30-pin connector).
  6. Check for faulty exhaust system components, cracks and/or leaks. Check electrical connectors between front O2S sensor and ECM connector B136 (30-pin connector) Repair and/or replace components as necessary. If exhaust system is okay, replace front O2S.
