O2 Sensor Pumping Current Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

Pumping current at the bank 1 sensor 1 wide-band lambda probe is below the lower limit — short to ground or sensor at end of life.

Affected components

  • Oxygen sensor wideband
  • Oxygen sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pump line shorted to ground
  • Medium likelihood: Wide-band sensor aged
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Possible rough idle or hesitation
  • Failed emissions test

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
