Hi, this is sensor 2, which is the downstream sensor screwed into the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter.

P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).

Symptoms: You will likely notice poor fuel economy the illumination of the Check Engine Light.

Causes: A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
open or short to ground in the wiring harness
O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
O2 heater element resistance is high
Internal short or open in the heater element

Note: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.

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

2006 Dodge Caravan Getting Two codes: Po135 and Po141

Sadly people don't know that trouble codes only tell the mechanic what to test, not what to replace. And auto parts stores are in the business of selling parts, not giving advice.
Code 135 means there is a problem with the heater inside the o2 sensor for bank one in front of the catalytic converter. Code 141 means the same thing for the o2 sensor after the cat.
Since it is very rare to have two O2 sensors fail at the same time, chances are the problem is lack of power going to the sensors.
The power circuits would need to be checked which requires a shop manual to get the testing procedures and wiring diagrams.

Po141 keeps coming on even though the part was changes and the code cleared from computer, why?

The P0141 code refers to your o2 sensor heater circuit. while many times replacement of the o2 sensor can solve this problem you possibly have a short or open in your o2 sensor heater circuit. Also was the proper o2 sensor changed p0141 is the bank 1 number 2 sensor. Bank 1 refers to the side of your engine where the #1 cylinder is located sensor 2 should be the second sensor on that side depending on how many sensors you vehicle has. hope this helps

PO141--Oxygen Sensor Heater Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

I would change all the O2 Sensors,when a monitor or downstream
fails,which they seldom do

PO403--EGR Circuit Malfunction

Codes Related---NO

Converter- if it is 14 years old, it is done working very well,
but not related to the heater in the oxygen sensor

I would do all the O2's,the converters & EGR Valve & go from there

I never give out that info,but look how old the car is,it won't pass
inspection, with just one of those three issues

2003 cavalier ls 2.2L show engine code p0141, O2 sensor replaced, no problems found in the wiring. Now what?

2003 cavaleir with code po141. this codes is saying o2 heater , so yes if sensor wiring is good then o2 is bad, but which o2 did you change? the correct o2 is the rear one after the converter not before the coverter, theres one up by the engine and i think its on the exhaust manifold and then another o2 down on the exhaust after the cat, thats the one you need to replace, let me know is thats the one, if not and you replaced the one at engine then replace the other one after the cat and this will solve the problem, let me know hope this is helpful.johnjohn2_12.jpg

I have a code po141 what i have to do what piece a have to change in where are this pieces

Code PO141 indicates that the heater circuit in the Oxygen Sensor mounted in Bank 1 (Driver's Side) is not working properly. The ECM has determined that the sensor is taking too long to heat up to around 600 degrees and then switch out of close loop mode. If the ECM determines that it is taking too long then a code PO141 will be set. Normally it is the sensor itself that is defective. Replacing the sensor normally will fix the problem. However it can be the wiring harness or a a bad connection. Check the wiring carefully and look for a short in the wiring. If you find none then replace the O2 Sensor. If this does not repair the problem do not replace any other parts. Time to take it to a professional with professional tools and diagnostic skills to find the problem. The O2 sensor is more than likely the problem but there is no guarantee that will fix it.

po141, may be a bad o2 sensor, rear sensor after converter. the po 141 is low voltage to tps, try replacing the oyxgen sensor first and then reset the codes and drive if the po141 comes back then replace the tps,
