O2 Sensor Pumping Current Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

The pumping current line of the wide-band lambda sensor on bank 1 sensor 1 is unable to operate. Wide-band sensors regulate exhaust oxygen to a reference cell via this pumping current — without it, AFR cannot be measured.

Affected components

  • Oxygen sensor wideband
  • Oxygen sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pumping current line open
  • Medium likelihood: Wide-band sensor failed

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
