DTC P0130: Linear Air-Fuel Ratio Sensor Circuit (bank 1, sensor 1)
 
 
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
  • The ECM effects air/fuel ratio feedback control in accordance with the signals from the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor.
  • If the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor has deteriorated, corrections will be made by the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
 
 
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
  • If the air-fuel ratio detection signal has an abnormality although the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor is sufficiently ready to operate, the DTC is set as a malfunction.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
  • Continuous
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)

  • Connector damage.
  • ECM failed.

 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992744: Vehicle Communication Interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite Main Harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB Cable Short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB Cable Long
  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
    • MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
    • MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
    • MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)
STEP 1. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
(1) Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-III) .
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and delete the DTC.
(3) Carry out the test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 21 .
(4) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Is DTC P0130 set?
Then go to Step 2.
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/ Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .
 
STEP 2. Replace the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor.
(1) Replace the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor.
(2) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 21 .
(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Is DTC P0130 set?
Replace the ECM (Refer to Removal and Installation ). Then go to Step 3.
The inspection is complete.
 
STEP 3. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 21 .
(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Is DTC P0130 set?
Retry the troubleshooting.
The inspection is complete.
