P0138

DTC P0138: Rear Secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2) Circuit High Voltage (2005 model)

DTC P0158: Rear Secondary HO2S (Bank 2, Sensor 2) Circuit High Voltage (2005 model)

NOTE:
- Information marked with an asterisk (*) applies to the front bank (Bank 2).
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
4. Check the HO2S S2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Does the voltage stay at 1.25 V or more?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector.




7. Connect secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector terminals No.1 and No.2 with a jumper wire.
8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
9. Check the HO2S S2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Does the voltage stay at 1.25 V or more?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Go to step 19.

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
11. Remove the jumper wire from the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector.




12. Connect secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector terminal No.1 to body ground with a jumper wire.
13. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
14. Check the HO2S S2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Does the voltage stay at 1.25 V or more?

YES - Go to step 15.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (D10) and the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2), then go to step 21.

15. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
16. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
17. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (24P).




18. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal B9(B18)* and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 29.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B9 (B18)*) and the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2), then go to step 21.

19. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
20. Replace the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).
21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
23. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
24. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
25. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
26. Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature above 176 degrees F (80 degrees C)
- A/T in D position (M/T in 4th gear)
- Engine speed at 1,500 - 3,000 rpm
- Drive 1 minute or more

27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0138 and/or P0158* is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Go to step 28.

28. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0138 and/or P0158* in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES -Troubleshooting is complete.

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 25 and recheck.

29. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
30. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
31. Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature above 176 degrees F (80 degrees C)
- A/T in D position (M/T in 4th gear)
- Engine speed at 1,500 - 3,000 rpm
- Drive 1 minute or more

32. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0138 and/or P0158* is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
