how to fix the P0131 oxygen sensor code on my Toyota Corolla E140 (2006-2013)

• •Check engine light illuminated
• •Rough idle
• •Decreased fuel efficiency
• •Poor acceleration

1. 1Scan the vehicle's computer with an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P0131 code and check for additional codes.
2. 2Inspect the wiring and connectors of the upstream oxygen sensor for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
3. 3Use a multimeter to measure the voltage output of the oxygen sensor while the engine is running; it should fluctuate between 0.1V to 0.9V.
4. 4Check the engine's fuel trim readings to see if they are out of the normal range, indicating a potential issue with fuel mixture.
5. 5Inspect the engine for any exhaust leaks before the oxygen sensor, which can affect its readings.
