What P0054 means

P0054
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), bank 1, sensor 2 - heater resistance Generic · emissions Data confidence 90%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), bank 1, sensor 2 - heater resistance circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.

Symptoms

  • MIL illuminated
  • Possible increased fuel consumption
  • Possible unstable idle

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • HO2S

Recommended checks

  • Read live sensor voltage/current and heater status
  • Inspect wiring and connectors
  • Check for exhaust leaks near the sensor
  • Check fuel trim values for upstream mixture faults
