The tech says he gets code P176 and that one of the HEGO sensor's needs to be replaced.... WTF is P176? Isn't a 99 SVT an OBD-II car.... OBD-I P176 IS an ox sensor I think.... WTF is up? Anyone shed some light on this for me? 1999 CSVT #545

The test fails when the sensor exceeds or falls before a max. or min. calibrated range. FF = flexible flue Causes -Open or short in FF sensor VPWR circuit -open in battery ground to FF sensor circuit -open in FF sensor signa; circuit -short to ground in FF signal circuit -fuel contamination -short to VPWR in FF sensor battery ground circuit -short to VPWR in FF sensor signal circuit -fuel seperation -damaged FF sensor -damaged PCM If it were me I would find out where the hell the sensor is and clean out the contacts and make sure it is plugged in snugly.
