Data confidence65%
The control module detected a fault associated with the Oxygen Sensor Control Module System Voltage 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
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.

Frequently asked questions about P055E
What does P055E mean?
Oxygen Sensor Control Module System Voltage. The control module detected a fault associated with the Oxygen Sensor Control Module System Voltage circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.
Is P055E generic or manufacturer-specific?
P055E is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P055E at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
