Code No. P0137: Right Bank Oxygen Sensor (rear) Circuit Low Voltage
OPERATION
- The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU connector terminal O2RR from the right bank oxygen sensor (rear) output terminal.
- The right bank oxygen sensor (rear) is earthed with engine-ECU connector terminal O2VE.
- The engine-ECU connector terminal O2VE applies an offset voltage of 0.5 V to the right bank oxygen sensor (rear) connector terminal.
FUNCTION
- The right bank oxygen sensor (rear) converts the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust emission into a voltage and inputs the signal to the engine-ECU.
- When the air-fuel ratio is richer than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the right bank oxygen sensor (rear) outputs a voltage of about 1 V. When it is leaner than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, it outputs a voltage of about 0 V.
- In response to the signal, the engine-ECU controls the fuel injection amount so that the air-fuel ratio can be equivalent to the theoretical air-fuel ratio.
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Conditions
- Right bank oxygen sensor (rear) offset voltage is more than 0.4 V and is less than 0.6 V.
- Battery positive voltage is more than 11 V and is less than 16.5 V.
- More than 3 minutes have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
Judgement Criterion
- Right bank oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage is less than 0.2 V for 2 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Failed right bank oxygen sensor (rear)
- Open/short circuit or harness damage in right bank oxygen sensor (rear) circuit or loose connector contact
