P2A00 O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1

Possible causes
– Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1
– Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 heater
– Fuel pressure
– Fuel injector
– Intake air leaks
When is the code detected?
The output voltage computed by ECM from the A/F sensor 1 signal is shifted to the lean side for a specified period.
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P2A00 Description
The air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is a planar one-cell limit current sensor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor 1 is composed an electrode
layer, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement = 1, but also in the lean and rich range. Together with its control electronics, the sensor outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a wide range.
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion layer at the sensor cell. An electrode layer is applied voltage, and this current relative oxygen density in lean. Also this current relative hydrocarbon density in rich.
Therefore, the A/F sensor 1 is able to indicate air fuel ratio by this electrode layer of current. In addition, a heater is integrated in the
sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of about 800
