DTC P164A: O2 Sensor Positive Current Trim Circuit Performance (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P164A: O2 SENSOR POSITIVE CURRENT TRIM CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

Description:  A resistor is installed in the universal heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) connector for part to part variance. The PCM determines the value of this resistor by taking multiple measurements of the resistor during each ignition ON event. The PCM uses this value to compensate for the variance in the pumping current signal. This DTC sets when the PCM receives an inconsistent or erratic measurement of the resistor.
Possible Causes: 
  • Corrosion
  • Incorrect connections
  • Damaged universal HO2S
Diagnostic Aids: 
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory
