Upstream O2 Sensors Swapped Bank To Bank
Description:
How does a P0040 code trigger the check engine light? This code will trigger the light to come on under the following condition:
The Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor, a strategy built into the computer, determines if the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) signal response for a change in fuel trim corresponds to the correct engine bank. If a response from the Oxygen Sensor being tested is not indicated, a trouble code will be set and the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) will illuminate.
Possible Causes:
Crossed Heated Oxygen Sensor harness connectors
Wiring swapped from one Oxygen Sensor connector to the other
Wiring changed at the computer connection or in the related harness
Diagnostic Help:
This check engine light code is caused by swapped wiring or connectors of the upstream Heated Oxygen Sensors. This would have to be the result of a previous repair, so be sure to check the vehicle history. You may also use the “Get Help” link if you need specifications or have any other related questions.
