Are there any other codes set?. frist i would look at the map sensor readings. the map sensor reads vauccmn at ilde the engine shows a high vacuumn reading 14 to 21 inches, as the throttle is opended up vacuumn drops, if the sensor dose not responds the pcm will go to a fixed value. which means the o2 sensor will only read what it senses in the exhaust, what you have to remeber is that the o2 sensors are the last sensors to see what and how the mtr is running. if you do not have abilty to look at the data stream you may end up spending more money by replacing parts until you fix it . good luck and let us know what happens

Recently - asked about OBD2 code 0053. Advised to check heater fuse B1S1but none is listed in the care manual or diagrams. Both O2 sensor fuses are good... What next?

O2 sensor's don't have a fuse , except for the heater circuit. PCM - engine computer supply's five volt's , signal return and ground . All are connected at the PCM . The fuse's you are calling O2 sensor fuse's are for the heater circuit . The PCM controls the O2 heater circuit by pulse width modulation ,do you know what that is .There is a transistor inside the PCM that toggles the ground on an off to control the heater circuit . Unless you know automotive electrical circuit testing an testing PCM input's an outputs ,your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop .

Hi, I am getting Faulty codes P0036, P0056, P0141, P0161 in reference Bank 1 and Bank 2 for sensors 2 on 2003 CTS.I was told the sensors where changed but codes still appear?

If the sensors were replaced an DTC'S come back has to be a wiring problem or PCM ,
The ECM detects that the HO2S heater low control circuit voltage is between 2.6-4.6 volts when the heater is commanded OFF, indicating an open HO2S heater circuit.
Is the fuse open?
All four codes refer to the heating element circuit ! there is a relay in the under hood fuse box that supplies B+ voltage to the O2 sensor heating elements . I would change that or test the relay , videos on you tube on testing relays .

Have a Ford fusion 06 Have p0141 code I fix the oxygen sensor but the codes still comes on?

Did you replace the right one ? This code does not necessarily mean the O2 sensor is bad . The code description say O2 heater " CIRCUIT " bank 1 sensor 2 Did you check the wiring , the fuse ?
P0141 - O2 Heater Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 2) Description: See the description for DTC P0135. Possible Causes: See the possible causes for DTC P0135. Diagnostic Aids: See the diagnostic aids for DTC P0135. Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory All GO to Pinpoint Test DW . P0135 - O2 Heater Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Description: During testing the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters are checked for open and short circuits and excessive current draw. The test fails when the current draw exceeds a calibrated limit or an open or short circuit is detected. Possible Causes:
  • Vacuum hose disconnected on exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system module (ESM) applications
  • Short to VPWR in the harness or HO2S
  • Water in the harness connector
  • Open VPWR circuit
  • Open GND circuit
  • Low battery voltage
  • Corrosion or incorrect harness connections
  • Damaged HO2S heater
Diagnostic Aids: Check the HO2S electrical connector for damage, corrosion, and water intrusion.

Error code p0161 on ford windstar 2002

Hi there:

This fault code refer at Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2, Sensor 2), and basically means the PCM detected either an excessive current draw, or an open or short in the circuit powering the oxygen sensor's heater circuit. This is in reference to the Heated Oxygen Sensor (2) located rear of catalytic converter (Bank 2).



A code P0161 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

  • HO2S heater power circuit open
  • HO2S heater ground circuit open
  • HO2S signal tracking (due to oil or moisture in the connector)
  • HO2S is damaged or has failed PCM has failed


Possble soutions:
  • Replace HO2 Sensor
  • Repair open or short in power circuit
  • Repair open or short in ground circuit
  • Repair damaged connector due to tracking


Use this Ford diagram about O2 sensor location...
