Yes and also may make it run rough or lack power. the o2 sensors tell the computer how to make the engine run

Testimonial: "u said it would make it hard to start and the other tech said he doesnt think so"

    depending on the milage on your car the o2 sensors may be under warranty. have a scan done to see if there are any stored codes for the sensors

P0031 problem with upstream right O2 sensor heater circuit. Heater element in side O2 sensor heats up O2 fast so PCM circuit can go to closed loop faster for emission control. Thats all it does. O2 sensor will still work, just wont heat up quickly to get into closed loop.

I dont believe it would cause this problem. When the engine is cold the o2 sensor does not send a signal to the pcm at which this time the pcm is operating in a closed loop mode until the o2 sensor warms up then it will start to send a signal that the pcm will read and compute the values sent to it.

Have p0031 and p0132 is it the same upstream 02 sensor bank 1 drivers side the problem, wiring is good jeep has 325,000 kilometers on it

P0031 -02 sensor heater heater circuit low bank1 sensor 2
P0030 -02 heater control circuit malfunction
P0132 Oxygen sensor circuit high voltage (bank 1 sensor 1)
P0132 is for bank 1 sensor 1 which is the engine management sensor when it a high voltage recheck the harness for proper connection and also the wiring harness a definition of circuit high mean it is not connected, Recheck the connection and make sure the 02 is properly torque or tighten a loose installation can also set these codes.

Troupe code poo31 pontiac vive 2005 1.8 eng

The DTC P0031 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Control Circuit Low Voltage Sensor 1 diagnostic monitors the operation of the HO2S 1 heater circuit. The heaters in the oxygen sensors increase the amount of time the sensor spends in Closed Loop fuel control operation or catalyst monitoring operation. The oxygen sensor heater greatly reduces the amount of time required for the fuel control HO2S 1 to become active. The heater helps provide accurate oxygen content readings of the engine exhaust by the HO2S.

Code p0031

code p0031 refers to heated oxygen sensor ( HO2S) 1 bank 1 -heater control-circuit low===causes--wiring short to ground--HO2S---ECM
Replace the heated sensor ( not the rear sensor of the cat converter). Use a special sensor spanner so that the wiring is not damaged in the process.

Yes the O2 sensor preheater problem will turn on the VSC light, see the complaint often, why? don't know
.P0031 TOYOTA - Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1
In most cases the O2 being replaced cures the code but here is the full story.
Possible causes- Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit open shorted to ground
- Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit

The engine light and VSC light are on (Vehicle Singapore 2004 Lexus RX 300. Diagnostics report Error code P0037

your o2 sensor is bad. vsc will go on for any small DTC displayed on the MIL (cel)

P0037 LEXUS P0037 LEXUS - Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 2 Symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible causes - Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit open shorted to ground
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit fuse
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) When is the code detected? The P0037 is set when the ECM detects an excessively low voltage through the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit P0037 LEXUS Description Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECMcontrols the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground.

The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.
