2005 1500 5.3L 160k. Gotten this code. The O2 sensors are new in last 2 years. New Acdelco parts put on. Could i have a defective part? How to tell if sensor is actually bad? Or something else? Coolant temp sensor? Truck runs normally and no decrease in fuel economy.

It won't change fuel mileage or running performance because it's the sensor after the cat converter.

 

The code says that it's possible there is a wiring issue with the sensor. Be it within the o2 sensor harness itself or with the wiring going down to the sensor.

 

If you want a free test that only takes your time you should flip flop the rear o2 sensors side to side. If the code changes to the Bank 1 sensor 2 fault, then you know that sensor is the cause. If the fault stays as a Bank 2 sensor 2 fault then you have issues with that side still.

Looked at it today. Took sensor out that is throwing the code. Last year put New sensor and put extender on it with also.. Well extender rotted out. Took it out with o2 sensor. Nothing is in there now. Drove it and CEL went off.

So now got P0158 code. Swapped o2 sensors. It did not change the code. So its not the sensor then. Researching online it could be ECM, fuel pressure regulator, coolant temperature sensor. Thinking now changing coolant temp sensor. with scan tool its reading 192F. Shouldnt it be 210F? Have not done anything and CEL went back off.

The thermostat in that truck should be a 192 or 195 so that temp is normal. The cluster and real coolant temp are never the same, the gauge will always report higher than actual on those years.

 

I'd be looking at the harness now because both those codes are circuit codes.

How much higher? As in the gauge will show ~210 when it's actually ~195?

Yeah, pretty much.

 

The NBS and NNBS trucks are pretty well known for that. The gauge will be about 10-15 degrees over the actual temp in the engine. The later 2014-2018 trucks are a little more accurate but still off some. The newest trucks are much more spot on from everything I've seen.

 

Even the warm up temps are more off. Once it creeps past 160 degrees it's more like 120-130 degrees.

The CEL now goes off on its own. Then will only come back on when truck is idling for over 4 minutes. Is it electrical? Some where in wiring?

How do i test the sensor? What setting on multi meter. I tested it and getting 0.

O2 sensors run from 0-1000mv, a good multimeter will have a Millivolt setting.

 

A properly working rear o2 sensor will switch back and forth as the engine warms up and settle around 600-700ish mv if the cat converter is working correctly. A bad sensor will read near zero or really high off the charts all the time.

I have blue driver scan tool. Hows it look? 53365c77bf85bbc296b214ec7652ac63.jpg

P0158 reflects what you see in the scanner. It's a high voltage code and the sensor is stuck around .900mv.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
