What P015A means

P015A
O2 Sensor Delayed Response - Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1 Generic · emissions Data confidence 85%

The control module detected a fault associated with the O2 Sensor Delayed Response - Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1 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

  • Aged or contaminated oxygen sensor
  • Sensor heater circuit fault
  • Wiring or connector fault
  • Exhaust leak near the sensor
  • Mixture fault upstream of the sensor

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
