98 camry, 133,000 miles, just serviced, when check engine light came on followed by trac off light. Got code PO 135, oxygen sensor, Bank One, Sensor One. However Auto Zone guy had no clue why trac off light tripped. Sensor will cost $102. Any recommendations to try before spending this money? Kevin

Try disconnecting the battery to clear all faults. Drive it for a couple of days to see if the fault returns.

PO-139 I had that sensor change 3 weeks ago and the check engine light came on again this morning.Thanks

Probably replaced a good sensor. This codes could be from a bad sensor, a vacuum leak, or an exhaust leak before the sensor.

Has any one had problems with bosh oxagen sensor not working properly

Hi there:
Are you buy same or OE part replacement according with the Hyundai part number catalogue? This is important. Keep in midn that you need reset or delete all previous code stored in the car computer.


DTC P0131 - Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
Essentially the same as P0136 and P0137, a P0131 code refers to the first oxygen sensor on Bank 1. P0131 means the O2 oxygen sensor's voltage remained low for longer than 2 minutes. This, is interpreted by the ECM as a low voltage condition and sets the MIL. Bank 1 Sensor 1 is located in front of the catalytic converter.


There may be no visible symptoms to the driver, other than the MIL (Check Engine / Service Engine Soon) illumination.


A code P0131 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
- Faulty o2 oxygen sensor
- Short to voltage on O2 signal circuit
- High resistance or open on O2 signal circuit


Possible Solutions:
- Replace faulty sensor
- Repair short, open, or high resistance on o2 signal circuit


Now, about DTC P0135 - Oxygen O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 1)


A code P0135 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
- O2 Heater element resistance is high
- Internal short or open in the heater element
- O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
- open or short to ground in the wiring harness


Possible Solutions
Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors
Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

P0138 and p0158

These codes, po 138 bank 1 sensor 2 shorted to voltage and code po158 means bank 2 sensor two shorted to voltage. these are the two rear oxygen sensors in the exhaust system. there two up frt and two in the rear, check the wiring on the two rear sensors, make sure that the wiring is not cut or stuck between metal. if the wiring is good then replace both rear sensors, when you get them ask for the left and right after the cat sensors. or bk1 s2 and bk2s2. after replacing them reset the computer. go to an auto parts sotre or if you have a code reader you can do it. hope this helps good day.

I have p044 code for Camry 2004

P0044 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 3)

The P0044 is set when the ECM detects an excessively high voltage through the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit

Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit open shorted to ground
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit fuse
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.

Error codes po 134 po 153 po 154 po 155 po 171 po 174

PO 134 = 02 SENSOR CIRCUIT NO ACTIVITY DETECTED (BANK 1 SENSOR1)
PO 153 =02 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 2 SENSOR 1)
PO 154 =02 SENSOR CIRCUIT NO ACTIVITY DETECTED (BANK 2 SENSOR 1)
PO 155= 02 SENSOR HEATER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (BANK 2 SENSOR 1)
PO 171= SYSTEM TOO LEAN (BANK 1)
PO 174= SYSTEM TOO LEAN (BANK 2)
I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE FAULTY OXYGEN SENSORS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN TOO LEAN REPLACE THEM AND YOU SHOULD BE BACK IN BUISNESS

2002 toyota le 29,780 Miles check light on during driving code p1135

Code p1135 is a code for an Air/Fuel sensor (oxygen sensor). Bank 1 sensor 1. IT comes up when their is a problem with air/fuel mixture in the engine. It would be anything from a blocked air cleaner, faulty or fouled spark plugs to a blocked exhaust pipe/catalytic convertor. I would get these checked out, and if they are all fine the sensor its self or sensor circuit may have failed, requireing replacement. With your low miles, hopefully this maybe covered under warranty if it is the sensor.
