Code No. P0132: Oxygen Sensor (front) Circuit High Voltage <EURO2>

OPERATION

• The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU connector terminal O2FL from the oxygen sensor (front) output terminal.
  
• The oxygen sensor (front) is earthed with engine-ECU connector terminal O2VE.
  
• The engine-ECU connector terminal O2VE applies an offset voltage of 0.5 V to the oxygen sensor (front).
  

FUNCTION

• The oxygen sensor (front) 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 oxygen sensor (front) 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

• More than 2 seconds have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
  
• Oxygen sensor (front) offset voltage is more than 0.4 V and is less than 3.8 V.
  

• Oxygen sensor (front) output voltage is more than 1.2 V for 2 seconds.
  

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

• None
  

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed oxygen sensor (front)
  
• Short circuit in oxygen sensor (front) circuit or loose connector contact
  
• Failed engine-ECU
