DTC DESCRIPTION P016A - EXCESSIVE TIME TO ENTER CLOSED LOOP AIR/FUEL RATIO CONTROL

Description:  The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) monitor tracks the rate of voltage change during the rise and fall of the HO2S signal. When the rate of voltage change is less than a calibrated value, the PCM begins to modify the fuel trim attempting to increase the HO2S voltage switch rate. This DTC sets when the PCM is at the allowable limit or has exceeded an allowable length of time for fuel trim modification, without detecting an acceptable rate of voltage change.
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Aftermarket accessories
  • Performance modifications
  • Contaminated or deteriorating HO2S
  • Damaged HO2S
Diagnostic Aids:  Access the HO2S test results from the scan tool to verify the DTC.
