SYMPTOM
P0131-1/1 O(2) SENSOR SHORTED TO GROUND
WHEN MONITORED
At engine shutdown O(2) Heater Diagnostics test. Then at subsequent cold start. Cold start is defined as engine coolant below 37 °C (100 °F), ambient/battery sensor reading within 6.6 °C (44 °F), and engine coolant temperature above 63 °C (146 °F) on the previous key OFF.
SET CONDITION
The oxygen sensor signal voltage is below 0.078 volts for 5 seconds after starting engine.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Intermittent condition
- O(2) sensor operation
- O(2) sensor signal circuit shorted to ground
- O(2) sensor signal circuit shorted to sensor ground circuit
- O(2) sensor signal shorted to heater control/ground circuit
- PCM
