DTC P0138: Notes

DTC P0138 DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P0138 Middle(1)/Rear(2) HO2S circuit high input
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors input voltage from middle(1)/rear(2) HO2S. If the input voltage from the middle(1)\rear(2) HO2S sensor is above 1.2 V for 0.5 s (1) /0.8 s (2)  , the PCM determines that circuit input is high.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continues monitor (HO2S).
  • MIL illuminates if PCM detects above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Middle(1)/Rear(2) HO2S malfunction
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between middle(1)/rear(2) HO2S terminal A and PCM terminal 2R(1), 2Q(2)
  • Middle(1)/Rear(2) HO2S or PCM terminal shorted
