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

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P164A - O2 SENSOR POSITIVE CURRENT TRIM CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

Description:  A resistor is installed in the universal heated oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 1 (HO2S11) 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 HO2S11
Diagnostic Aids: 
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory 
All GO to PINPOINT TEST DZ: UNIVERSAL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) .
