The reference voltage supplied to the intake air oxygen sensor on bank 1 reports a low condition. Lambda measurement on the intake side is unreliable.

Affected components

  • Intake air o2 sensor b1
  • Wiring harness
  • Ecm

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Reference wire shorted to ground
  • Medium likelihood: Internal short in sensor reference
  • 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
