Error code
OBD2 P0137
OBD2P0137
Diagnostic Trouble Code· Standard OBD-II fault code read from the vehicle's onboard diagnostics.
What it means
O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage.
Severity
moderateCan drive, but should address the issue soon as it affects emissions.
Summary
P0137 indicates low voltage in the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) circuit for Bank 1 Sensor 2, which is located after the catalytic converter.
Common Causes
- Faulty HO2S sensor
- Circuit fault due to damaged wire harness or connectors
- Exhaust leak between the TWC and HO2S
Diagnosis
- Check fuses and harnesses for any obvious problems.
- Inspect oxygen sensors for damage or corrosion.
- Use a mechanic's stethoscope to check for exhaust leaks.
- Disconnect ECM and HO2S, then test circuit continuity and resistance.
Fixes
- Replace the faulty sensor if internal resistance is below 10 kΩ.
