Oxygen Sensor

[MoladoGuy]

Has anyone had to replace the O2 sensor(s)? If so, did you receive any error codes prior to knowing you had to? I am currently receiving:
P0137 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2

And I'm guessing that this could be a bad O2, or going bad?

Thanks all!!

I GOT THE SAME CODE!!!!!!

I got it earlier in the winter... light went off and hasn't come back.

hmmmm...yall are both in Michigan too....with extremely cold temps in the winter....i'd have to wonder if the seriously cold temps are messin with the o2 sensors and giving you false readings, when theres really nothing wrong?

While O2 sensors do go bad, when you get O2 sensor reports it is usually an indication of something else. O2 sensors usually last between 60K and 100K miles.

Thank you for making me feel better!! Yes it has recently started since the cold weather. This is the first time of seeing an error such as this.

I will continue to keep an eye on it, but I have not received any "Service Engine" or other instrument panel lights coming on.

Thanks again all

It's baaaaaaaack!

its gotta be the cold weather messin with things....i really have a hard time believing that an o2 sensor would crap out at such an early age.

I finally took it in to have it checked the the Stealership told me it would was:

O2 Sensor downstream (last sensor) in Bank 1.

They wanted to charge me nearly $150 for the install and O2 sensor. I laughed. Got one from my In-law for way cheaper...cheap cheap..and he had the tool to remove/install the O2.

Light is gone. My concern was with what would happen overtime. I was told that the O2 sensor sends back the exhaust mixture and tells the computer how to properly mix the air/gas. If it's not right it could mess up your fuel system, mileage, and vehicle performance.

$95 for 1 hour's labor, $50 for the sensor. That doesn't sound wrong to me.

I guess they might take it tomorrow... hopefully I don't have to make an appointment.

It's at the dealership now...

Fixed. CEL is off, and my new steering wheel (Grr, peeling leather) has been ordered. \/

I had the same error code a couple weeks back, took it in and got the surprise of my automotive life. Turns out the the wiring for the sensor got knocked loose somehow and hit the driveshaft.

On a side note, On every Jeep I have had(2 TJs and the KJ), the O2 sensors have been replaced, sometimes multiple times per Jeep. How long are the sensors supposed to last?

I had the EXACT SAME THING! (Trouble code P0137, dealership telling me that the O2 sensor wires were rubbing on the driveshaft)

This was in my 2005 renegade, covered under warranty.

EDIT: Maybe not the exact same trouble code, but I could have just been not remembering it correctly. My thread about it on lostkjs

My Jeep Cherokee had the same issue with the O2 going nuts and needing a replacement. Must be a JEEP THANG.

My 04 threw a P0158 code this afternoon
02 sensor voltage high bank 2 sensor 2

Yeah, that was one of the codes I was getting. P0137 and P0138. I may have to crawl underneath and take a look to see how it hit the driveshaft...maybe add a zip tie in there to keep it away.

Gas Mileage is up... of all things. \/

 

[MoladoGuy]

Gas mileage is better as well!!

I noticed it was beginning to become quite crappy, but I thought it was just cold weather fuel. It's still crap, but better than before, although nowhere near summer. ](*,)
