P0153 - O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2017 Lincoln Navigator, 2017 Lincoln MKZ, 2017 Lincoln MKX, 2017 Lincoln MKT, and 2017 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0153 - O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 2 SENSOR 1)

Description:  The PCM monitors the universal heated oxygen sensor bank 2, sensor 1 (HO2S21) response time by commanding a calibrated fuel control routine. This routine sets the air to fuel ratio to a calibrated limit to produce a predictable oxygen sensor signal amplitude. This DTC sets when the oxygen sensor signal does not reach the predicted amplitude within a predetermined response time.
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Incorrect fueling
  • Intake air system leaks
  • Mass airflow (MAF) sensor (if equipped)
  • Contaminated universal HO2S21
  • Deteriorating universal HO2S21
