P0160 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 

Circuit Insufficient Activity Bank 2 Sensor 2

P0160 code definition 

Inconvenience code P0160 is set when no movement is distinguished on the bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor circuit. Bank 2 alludes to the side of the motor inverse of chamber number one. Sensor 2 implies that it is the second sensor in the exhaust, which is generally after the exhaust system to screen its effectiveness. 

What the P0160 code implies 

This code implies that the powertrain control module has identified an issue in the circuit for the oxygen sensor for bank 2 sensor 2. The Check Engine Light will enlighten to tell the proprietor that there is an issue with the outflows framework. 

What causes the P0160 code? 

Inconvenience code P0160 sets when the motor administration PC doesn't identify any action on the oxygen sensor circuit for bank 2 sensor 2. For the most part, an oxygen sensor's voltage will differ all over. 

The principal sensor in the exhaust fluctuates voltage rapidly and the voltage change is more prominent. The subsequent sensor shifts increasingly slow voltage fluctuation is more modest because of the impetus in the exhaust. 

At the point when the PC identifies that there is no movement or difference in the voltage it considers this to be an issue and sets this blunder code. 

What are the manifestations of the P0160 code? 

The fundamental side effect for this code is that the Check Engine Light will come on. 

There are no drivability issues regularly introduced when this code sets other than a possible decrease in efficiency. 

How does a specialist analyze the P0160 code? 

Likewise with any oxygen sensor code, I suggest playing out a visual check of the oxygen sensor bridle to check for any conspicuous indications of harm. They are under the vehicle and are defenseless to harm by street dangers. 

Then, they will check the terminals of the connector for any indications of consumption or water interruption. These will make the voltage readings be inaccurate and will bring about a blunder code. 

After, they will check the opposition of the oxygen sensor itself and ensure it is inside particulars. 

On the off chance that the oxygen sensor's obstruction looks at alright, you need to gauge the reference voltage from the powertrain control module. 

On the off chance that these looks at turn OK, it is in all likelihood a broken oxygen sensor. A fast method to check for this is to screen the voltage of the sensor with an output instrument and either present a vaccum release or an additional fuel source to the vehicle. 

This should change the voltage perusing to one limit or the other for the sensor. In case there is no change this affirms that the sensor isn't perusing effectively. 

Normal missteps when diagnosing the P0100 code 

The most widely recognized misstep would supplant the oxygen sensor without playing out any diagnostics and afterward you actually have an issue. 

The following normal issue would be supplanting some unacceptable sensor. Contingent upon the motor arrangement it is feasible to get the chamber banks confounded in the event that you don't counsel the help data for the vehicle you are dealing with. 

How genuine is the P0160 code? 

There is no requirement for worry with the difficulty code. There will be no drivability concerns identified with this difficulty code. Nonetheless, this difficulty code will make you bomb a discharges test if their test gear interfaces with the motor PC to check for codes. In the event that they run your vehicle on a dyno there is plausible that your vehicle might finish the assessment as long as there could be no different issues. 

What fixes can fix the P0160 code? 

The most widely recognized fix is supplanting the defective oxygen sensor. 

After that I would say that wiring fixes are the following most normal fix for this difficulty code.
