P0140: O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1/Sensor 2): DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION CHART

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case1) DTC Strategy
  • Signal plausibility during fuel cut off
  • Related fuse blown or missing
  • Contact resistance in connectors
  • HO2S contamination
Enable Conditions
  • (VLS_DOWN > 0.68V or < 0.21V) or Catalyst model temp > 500°C
  • Sensor preheating and full heating phases finished
  • In fuel cut off phase
  • In fuel cut off active
  • 20g < Integrated mass air flow < 200g
  • No relevant failure
  • 10V < Battery voltage < 16V
 
Threshold Value
  • Voltage with fuel cut off > 0.1V
 
Diagnostic Time
  • 2 sec.
 
Case2) DTC Strategy
  • Signal plausibility during full load
 
Enable Conditions
  • (VLS_DOWN > 0.68V or < 0.21V) or Catalyst model temp > 500°C
  • Sensor preheating and full heating phases finished
  • 70g < Integrated mass air flow since begin full load < 300g
  • No relevant failure
  • 11V < Battery voltage < 16V
 
Threshold Value
  • Voltage with full load < 0.70V
 
Diagnostic Time
  • 2 sec.
 
Case3) DTC Strategy
  • Signal plausibility after fuel cut off
 
Enable Conditions
  • Integrated mass air flow in laser fuel cut off > 8g
  • Integrated mass air flow in part load > 250g
  • Coolant temperature > 74°C (165°F)
  • Downstream O2 sensor signal at end of last fuel cut off < 0.25V
  • Sensor preheating and full heating phases finished
  • In Closed loop mode
  • Minimum upstream lambda during Catalyst Purge phase < 0.98(to ensure Rich Mixture during Catalyst Purge Phase)
  • Catalyst temperature > 348°C (658°F)
  • No relevant failure
  • 11V < Battery voltage < 16V
 
Threshold Value
  • MAX voltage with after full cut off < 0.55V
 
Diagnostic Time
  • 3 valid fuel cut-off followed by catalyst enrichment phases
 
Mil On Condition
  • 2 Driving Cycles
