DTC P0138 O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE (BANK 1 SENSOR 2)

DTC P0138 O 2 SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE (BANK 1 SENSOR 2)

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the malfunction of oxygen sensor open or short circuit. Judge NG when the oxygen sensor voltage may be abnormal with considering the conditions such as intake air amount, engine coolant temperature, main feedback control.
