Yes, we understand that. The question is whether the lowers were replaced instead of the uppers. But let's go back to the TSB.
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) MONITOR - HO2S SIGNAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION Diagnostic Trouble Code Description Possible Causes P0131 - HO2S Sensor Circuit Out of Range Low Voltage (HO2S-11) The HO2S sensor is monitored for a negative voltage known as Characteristic Shift Downward (CSD). If the sensor is switching from 0 volts to -1 volts during testing and DTC P0131 is present, the PCM will be in FMEM.
Electrical: �· Contaminated HO2S sensor or connector (coolant, water, silicone, fuel, oil, etc.) �· Chafed/damaged wiring �· Crossed HO2S signal/signal return wiring �· PCM
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) MONITOR - HO2S SIGNAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION Diagnostic Trouble Code Description Possible Causes P0155 - HO2S Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (HO2S-21) (Bank 2 Upper)
During testing, the HO2S heaters are checked for opens/shorts and excessive current draw. The code will set when current draw exceeds a maximum calibrated limit or falls below a minimum calibrated limit and/or an open or short is detected. �· Blown fuse �· Short to VPWR in harness or HO2S �· Water in harness connector �· Open VPWR or GND circuit �· Low battery voltage �· Poor electrical connections from PCM to HO2S sensor �· HO2S heater �· PCM
So based on what Ray and you are saying, it could be that it was due to running rich (even though you did not get a P0172 and P0175 code).
