Code result

P0132

O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Moderate severity

What it means

The upstream oxygen sensor signal is fixed at a high voltage, indicating either a continuously rich exhaust on bank 1 or a short to supply voltage in the signal circuit.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Genuine rich running (leaking injector, high fuel pressure)

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Signal wire shorted to supply voltage

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Sensor poisoned by silicone or coolant

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
