  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 4. Start the engine.

    - 5. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

    - 6. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC

    Is DTC P0138 and/or P0158 * indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems

  2. Determine possible failure area (open circuit, short circuit)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    HO2S B1 S2 More than 1.42 V    
    HO2S B2 S2 * More than 1.42 V    

    Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  3. Open wire check (SO2SGB1 (SO2SGB2) * line):

    - 1.Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the jumper wire from the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector.

    - 3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Rear bank (Bank 1): 

    Terminal A Rear secondary HO2S (Bank 1, Sensor 2) 4P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
    Terminal B Body ground

    Front bank (Bank 2):

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    HO2S B1 S2 More than 1.42 V    
    HO2S B2 S2 * More than 1.42 V    

    Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the SO2SGB1 (SO2SGB2) * wire between the PCM (C39 (C40) *) and secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).

  4. Open wire check (SO2B1 (SO2B2) * line):

    - 1.Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P)

    - 4. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there 1Ω or less?

    YES 

    The SO2B1 (SO2B2) * wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (6-Speed A/T), (9-Speed A/T 2016 2017 2018) , then recheck. If DTC P0138 and/or P0158 * goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (6-Speed A/T), (9-Speed A/T 2016 2017 2018) .
