P0130
O2 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0130 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning: O2 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1. Common causes: failure of oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 1 (depletion of life), poor fuel-air mixture due to air leaks in the intake tract. Estimated repair cost: $44–167.
Symptoms
- Check Engine light on dashboard
- Noticeable increase in fuel consumption (15–30%)
- Unstable engine operation, especially at idle
- Unstable acceleration, jerking when moving
- Black smoke from the exhaust pipe (rich mixture) or signs of a lean mixture
Causes
- Failure of oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 1 (depletion of life)
- Poor fuel-air mixture due to air leaks in the intake tract
- Damage to the wiring or lambda probe connector
- Sensor heating element failure
- Sensor contamination with silicone, antifreeze or oil from exhaust gases
How to Fix
- Read codes and real-time data - look at the voltage of sensor 1 bank 1 with a warm engine
- Make sure that the sensor heater is working properly (resistance 2–20 Ohms)
- Check for air leaks in the intake tract (with a smoke generator or aerosol)
- Check fuel pressure and injector operation
- Inspect the sensor connector and wiring for damage.
- If the sensor does not switch or produces a constantly low signal, replace the lambda probe of bank 1, sensor 1
