how to fix P0130 code in Volvo XC60 First Generation (2008-2017)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.

2. Oxygen Sensor Replacement

1. Locate the Oxygen Sensor

   • Find the bank 1 oxygen sensor, usually located on the exhaust manifold or near the catalytic converter.

2. Remove the Old Oxygen Sensor

   • Use an oxygen sensor socket to carefully unscrew the old sensor.
   • If the sensor is stuck, apply penetrating oil and allow it to sit for several minutes before attempting to remove it.

3. Install the New Oxygen Sensor

   • Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor (if not pre-applied).
   • Screw the new sensor into place by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten it using the oxygen sensor socket to the manufacturer’s torque specification (usually around 30-40 ft-lbs).

4. Reconnect the Wiring

   • Plug the new oxygen sensor connector into the wiring harness.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and free from damage.

3. Reset the Engine Control Module

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0130 code from the ECM.
