Chevrolet

1 interpretation
P1166
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 voltage low Chevrolet · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 voltage stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • exhaust system leaking
  • H025

Kia

1 interpretation
P1166
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) - front, bank 1 - control limit Kia · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) - front, bank 1 - control limit circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Kia.

Possible causes

  • Fuel/intake/ignition system
  • wiring
  • H025
  • ECM

Nissan

Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 2 - minimum voltage monitoring Nissan · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 2 - minimum voltage monitoring circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • HO2S
  • fuel system
  • injector
  • ECM
