O2 Sensor Contamination

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 1995 GMC Vandura Special, 1995 GMC Vandura, 1995 GMC Suburban, 1995 GMC Rally Camper Special, and 1995 GMC Rally. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

O2 sensor contamination, caused by silicone in certain fuels or use of improper RTV sealant, may cause a White-powdery coating to cover O2 sensor. The false high signal voltage produced (or low oxygen content sensed) is interpreted by control module as a rich mixture, causing control module to set Code 45.
