WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2016 Lincoln Navigator, 2016 Lincoln MKZ, 2016 Lincoln MKX, 2016 Lincoln MKT, and 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC DESCRIPTION P0140 - CIRCUIT ACTIVITY DETECTED (BANK 1, SENSOR 2)

Description:  If the sensor signal value is not changing from the default value, the PCM commands an oscillating air to fuel ratio attempting to detect some movement in the signal value. This DTC sets when the PCM is unable to detect movement in the sensor signal while the air to fuel ratio is oscillating.
Possible Causes: 
  • HO2S12 circuit open
  • Damaged heated oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 2 (HO2S12)
Diagnostic Aids:  An O2S12 PID switching across 0.45 volt from 0.2 to 0.9 volts indicates a normal switching HO2S.
