DTC P0140: O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank1 Sensor2): Wiring Diagram

DTC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA  .
  1. Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F), and keep the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm. (2 minutes maximum)
  2. Read the value of «Rear O2 Sensor» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.
    NOTE:
    • Subaru Select Monitor

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to "READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE". < Ref. to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . >

    • General scan tool

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

Is the value of «Rear O2 Sensor
» 0.490 V or more?
Go to step 6  . Go to step 2  .
2 CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA  .
  1. Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F), and rapidly reduce the engine speed from 3, 000 rpm.
  2. Read the value of «Rear O2 Sensor» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.
    NOTE:
    • Subaru Select Monitor

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to "READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE". < Ref. to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . >

    • General scan tool

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

Is the value of «Rear O2 Sensor » 0.250 V or less? Go to step 6  . Go to step 3  .
3 CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR AND COUPLING CONNECTOR  . Has water entered the connector? Completely remove any water inside. Go to step 4  .
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from ECM and rear oxygen sensor.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B136) No. 21 - (E25) No. 3: 

    (B135) No. 30 - (E25) No. 4: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 5  . Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
5 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
  1. Connect the connector to ECM.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Measure the voltage between rear oxygen sensor connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E25) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage 0.2 - 0.5 V? Replace the rear oxygen sensor. < Ref. to REAR OXYGEN SENSOR . > Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
  • Poor contact of ECM connector
6 CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM  .
Check exhaust system parts.
NOTE: Check the following items.
  • Looseness and improper fitting of exhaust system parts
  • Damage (crack, hole etc.) of parts
  • Loose part and improper installation between front oxygen (A/F) sensor and rear oxygen sensor
Is there any fault in exhaust system? Repair or replace faulty parts. Replace the rear oxygen sensor. < Ref. to REAR OXYGEN SENSOR . >
