O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit Low (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

O2 trim line on bank 2 sensor 2 stuck low — short to ground. A drifted or sluggish lambda sensor lets the mixture run lean or rich without correction — fuel economy and emissions suffer immediately.

Affected components

  • Oxygen sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Short to ground
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation

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
