P0130
Affected Component
Exhaust System
Estimated Time
1-2 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems to prevent shorts or shocks
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before working on exhaust components to avoid burns

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Poor fuel economy
  • •Rough idle
  • •Increased emissions
  • •Engine stalling or hesitation during acceleration

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to confirm P0130
  2. 2Inspect the oxygen sensor wiring harness for any visible damage or corrosion
  3. 3Check the electrical connector for the oxygen sensor for corrosion or loose connections
  4. 4Measure the voltage output of the oxygen sensor using a multimeter while the engine is running
  5. 5Inspect the exhaust system for leaks that could affect oxygen sensor readings
  6. 6Clear the fault codes and perform a test drive to see if the code returns

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

Tools Required:

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Multimeter
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Oxygen sensor socket
  • Safety gloves and goggles

2. Remove the Faulty Oxygen Sensor

  1. Locate the upstream oxygen sensor (Bank 1) in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe.
  2. Use the oxygen sensor socket to unscrew the old sensor from its mounting location.
  3. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the oxygen sensor.

3. Install the New Oxygen Sensor

  1. Apply anti-seize compound on the threads of the new oxygen sensor (if not pre-applied).
  2. Thread the new oxygen sensor into the exhaust manifold or pipe and tighten it to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 30-40 ft-lbs).
  3. Reconnect the electrical connector to the new oxygen sensor.

4. Reconnect Battery and Test

  1. Reconnect the battery terminals securely.
  2. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
  3. Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any new trouble codes and ensure the check engine light is off.
