Code result

P0151

O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Moderate severity

What it means

Same condition as P0131 but on bank 2. The upstream sensor sees a continuously lean exhaust on bank 2 or has a signal short to ground.

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

  • Exhaust leak upstream of the sensor

    high

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

  • Bank 2 running lean (vacuum leak, fuel pressure)

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

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