With OEM Direct diagrams, components, TSBs, and R&R procedures Number:

345123

Vehicle Application:

2002 Liberty 3.7

Customer Concern:

Has a check engine light on with codes P0137, and P0138 for the 1/2 O2 sensor voltage high and low.

Average Reported Mileage: 70183

Tests/Procedures:



1. Check the scan data for O2 sensor voltages. The sensor should be switching from 2.5 to 3.5 volts.

2. Check the sensor signal wire Tan/White for 5 volts unplugged, Dark Blue wire should have 2.5 volts unplugged.

3. The Black/Orange wire is the heater ground and the Brown/White wire is the heater voltage which is a pulse width modulated voltage from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).



Tech Tips:

This vehicle takes special O2 sensors, they should meet or exceed OEM specs...

In short you need a bank 1 sensor 2 Ho2 sensor
