What does the p0154 code on the O2 sensor mean?
Once the engine reaches closed loop, the O2 sensor should begin switching rapidly between rich and lean voltages 2-3 times per second. If for some reason the O2 sensor doesn’t switch properly or “sticks”, P0154 may set. This code indicates the O2 sensor isn’t operating. Symptoms of a P0154 code may include:
What is the diagnostic code for O2 sensor no activity?
P0154 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 1)”.
What to do if Bank 2 oxygen sensor is not switching?
If the exhaust checks out, suspect the sensor to be sluggish and replace it. If the Bank 2,1 oxygen sensor appears to be not switching, turn the engine off, and unplug the Bank 2,1 oxygen sensor. With KOEO (Key on engine off) jumper the O2 sensor signal wire to the ground wire. Now the voltage reading should be low (about 0.1v).
What to do if your front heated oxygen sensor is not working?
Start by checking the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins. What does this mean? Replacing the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 usually takes care of the problem.
What do I need to know about the p0154 trouble code?
The most common mistake when diagnosing the P0154 trouble code is replacing the oxygen sensor without first inspecting the other components of the system. It is important to check for holes in the exhaust near the location of the oxygen sensor, air leaks in the intake, and oil and or water saturation at the connector.
What causes a p0134 trouble code on an oxygen sensor?
A properly working oxygen sensor millivolt reading moves up and down. When the power control module (PCM) detects that the oxygen sensor millivolt at a standstill, and not functioning properly, this will cause the P0134 trouble code. This trouble code can be caused by the following: Faulty heater circuit.
P0154 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 1)”.
Can a check engine light be an oxygen sensor?
It seems as though the check engine light and O2 Sensor codes have always gone hand in hand. I can’t even begin to tell you how many perfectly good sensors I’ve seen replaced for a rich/lean code, or as a cure to a service engine light that comes and goes. Fact is, when oxygen sensors were first being used, they did tend to fail.
What should I do if my O2 sensor is not working?
If no bad connection is found, replace the O2 sensor and re-check. If when you jumper the signal wire to the ground wire the voltage reading isn’t low (about 0.1v), remove the jumper wire.
Why are oxygen sensors important to an engine?
The oxygen sensors are critical to the engine running properly. It basically informs the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) of oxygen content of the exhaust. The PCM then uses this information to regulate fuel into the engine and maintain proper air:fuel ratio.
What should the voltage be at the O2 sensor?
If when you jumper the signal wire to the ground wire the voltage reading isn’t low (about 0.1v), remove the jumper wire. Now check for voltage at the O2 sensor signal wire. It should have, with KOEO and O2 sensor unplugged, roughly 0.5 volts. If it does, check also for a good ground to the sensor as well. Repair as necessary

What is the p0154 code on a Galant?
I just purchased a 2003 Galant with 156k. It has the 3.0 v6 motor. Ive scanned the codes and have code: p0154. Will this code alone prevent my car from starting.
