DTC P0130 (FO2_V): Front O2S Circuit Malfunction
- Warm engine to normal operating temperature and check CO content of exhaust gas. If CO is less than 2 percent, go to next step. If CO content is more than 2 percent, check fuel system. If fuel system checks okay, check for use of improper fuel or if engine oil or coolant level is extremely low.
- Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature, greater than 160°F (70°C). Operate engine at 2000-3000 RPM for one minute. Observe front O2S output signal. If the voltage difference is 0.1 volt or less between the value of the maximum and minimum output, replace front O2S. If the voltage difference is more than 0.1 volt, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect front O2S connector. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter connected to ground, measure voltage at front O2S connector terminal No. 3 (Pink/Green wire on Forester, Yellow/Blue wire or Impreza, or Black wire on Legacy). If voltage is less than 0.2 volt, check for an open in wiring between PCM and front O2S or poor contact at PCM connector. If voltage is 0.2 volt or more, check for poor contact in front O2S connector and repair as necessary. If connection is okay, replace front O2S.
