The sensor is located on the exhaust system between where the cylinder ports enter the common manifold and the muffler. Sometimes they are on the cast iron manifold and sometimes they are on the exhaust pipe after the cast iron manifold.

sounds like the transmission is in "limp"mode it allows you to drive even though there is a problem with the transmission,the code 21 is probably a transmission manufature control code and not engine go to autozone and they can scan it for free,if you just had transmission fluid changed recently if you used anything other than what the manufature calls for like atf+4 then this is your problem,flush the system and do a fluid and filter change with correct fluid as by what the owners manual,or dealer calls for,don't rely on autozone to get it right.

SOURCE: The computer Code of P0132 has come on

Okay, good, that makes it a bit easier. That code refers to sensor B1S1 or Bank 1, Sensor 1. Bank 1 refers to the side of the motor that has cylinder #1. Since you have an in-line six cylinder, that part is easy since there's only one side. Sensor 1 refers to the sensor before the catalytic converter. Since you have only one bank, and one exhaust pipe, that means its the O2 sensor before the catalytic converter.

You only have two O2 sensors, one before and one after the catalytic converter. Check the wiring and connector on the sensor before the catalytic converter and if all seems good there, then replace the sensor itself and see if that does the trick.

SOURCE: Oxygen Sensor jeep liberty

well first off depending on the year you could have up to four.now the easiest thing is to check trouble codes by turning yor key three times.now move it to the first position it moves to.thats were you need to end at all three times.now from that position you will move it quickly to the position when the accessories and idiot lites lite,right before it hits the starting position.so do that three times and wala if you got a problem with it your gonna know which one of the four you need to replace.follow the imortal saying of if it aint broke dont fix it ,oh ya to locate just look at other answer

Hi there, do you get water from the air conditioning unit entering the passenger foot well, if so then perhaps water is dripping onto the electrics below and causing these problems (blocked evaporator unit) alternatively, get jeep to reset your system (2 minute job) and this should work, keep an eye on it as the first new code that appears should be the problem area, hope this helps

January 31, 2012 Updated: October 29, 2014 Written by: Abraham Torres-Arredondo Article Id: 371

image_1.gifIf your check engine light is on and you have a diagnostic trouble code P0135 stored in the PCM's memory... then you've come to the right place to test and troubleshoot the upstream oxygen sensor.
A P0135 DTC says: HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1... and this means that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module = Fuel Injection Computer) has detected a problem with the front oxygen sensor's heater element or a problem in the heater's circuit (wires).
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to check the oxygen (O2) sensor's heater element and the two circuits that feed it with power (10 to 12 Volts) and ground with a multimeter.
In case you're wondering, where the oxygen (O2) sensor that the code P0135 is accusing of being BAD is... this bad boy is located on the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
To help you navigate this article, here are its main points:
  1. Symptoms of a BAD Oxygen Sensor Heater Element.

    Can you tell me the location of code reader 1991 capri ?

    1991 is pre-OBD2. code readers will not work.
    sorry.
    however, all is not lost. Many cars have an alternate way of reading codes from the computer.
    Toyota has a block under the hood and you short couple wires together and count engine light flashes
    Chrysler you can turn the ignition key on and off a few times and count engine light flashes
    in your case for GMs from 1982 to 1995
    1: find the 12 pin connector under the dash and short the upper two rightmost terminals.
    with the ignition "ON" and engine not running. The system will enter the diagnostic mode. In this mode, the computer will display a Code 12, three consecutive times, by flashing the "CHECK ENGINE", "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" or "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP" or light. A Code 12 consists of one flash, a short pause, then two flashes in rapid succession.
    2:. After Code 12 is displayed, any stored trouble codes will be displayed by flashing the "CHECK ENGINE", "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" or "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP" light. All codes are displayed 3 times each then a code 12 will repeat. In the diagnostic mode, the computer will also energize all computer controlled relays and solenoids.

    Replaced the O2 sensor unit and the ECM(programs installed) but I'm still getting CHECK ENGINE LIGHT(P0001). what is the possible problem and how can this be resolved?

    P0001 Fuel Volume Regulator Control Circuit/Open The above code is about an oxygen sensor code for the heater circuit located in bank 1 sensor 1. (bank 1 is at exhaust manifold by the #1 cylinder head, bank 2 is on the 2nd cylinder head. On some engines, both exhaust manifolds could have one oxygen sensor each side and the 2nd cylinder head will have the sensor 2). On the oxygen sensor itself, it has 4 wires which are color coded. Two of wires are for the heater circuit that heats the oxygen sensor to make it reach optimum operation quickly. Those 2 oxygen sensor heater wires could be shorted between the sensor and the ecm (engine computer) or other engine components.
    oxygen%20sensor%20heater%20copy.jpgThe common fix for this code is to check the integrity of the heater wires. Check the wires for insulation and routing which could be loose or touching a hot exhaust that can short the wires. If the engine has too many miles, it is possible that the heater circuit inside is worn and shorted which needs a replacement of the oxygen sensor. If you have a DVOM, you can also test the continuity of the heater wires from the oxygen sensor to your computer pins.
    More detailed fixes will be provided as soon as you give the symptoms of the obd2 trouble code. ATS will provide the wiring diagram so you can trace the color coded wires. Use an obd2 code reader or scanner so you can access this obd2 trouble code. When you have this obd2 code list, use it as a reference and give the code to ATS. We will then send you all the possible fixes for the obd2 trouble code. ATS has lots of fixes for obd2 gm codes, obd2 ford codes, dodge obd2 codes and all obd2 import codes such as Toyota obd2 codes, Honda obd2 codes, Nissan obd2 codes, etc. All fixes for this obd2 codes are guaranteed or your money back.
    Important TIPS about Oxygen sensor:
    The oxygen sensor content of the exhaust gas indicates when the engine mixture is operating lean or rich. When the oxygen sensor detects that the engine is operating rich, the signal voltage is high, and any decreases in the signal voltage means the engine running is lean. The engine computer supplies a reference voltage like one volt or five volts, and then shows the change in the sensor return voltage as the sensor's resistance is changing. If you have connected everything properly, when you crank the engine, you should see the check engine light coming out.
    Unheated oxygen sensors rely on the heat of the exhaust gases to reach the working temperature, therefore they might start to cool down while the engine is idling and revert back to a default air-fuel ratio setting. This type of sensor usually has a single wire connector, though others have two. Unlike the fuel pump relay, the 02 sensor heater circuits have a separate fuse for each sensor and grounds, which are controlled by the engine computer.
    To read a voltage across the heater, one side must be connected to (+) and one side must be connected to (-), which is accomplished by the computer or a transistor. It can read 12V between each wire and a separate ground if it was connected to positive and the other was not yet connected to ground connection (for details, please contact ATS).after you replace oxygen sensor you have to drive for so many miles before it resets its sef

    I have a 99 cadillac deville and had it put on the machine to get it tested..the codes came back as P0147, P1377, P1323, and P0146. can someone please tell me what these codes mean.

    P0146:
    O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 3)
    The PCM provides a 0.45 volt reference to the oxygen sensor on CKT 1668. When the Oxygen Sensor reaches operating temperature it will generate a counter voltage that will vary based on the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. The post-converter heated oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust after the catalytic converter. A lean exhaust will generate a low voltage and cause the 0.45 reference to move lower. A rich exhaust will generate a high voltage and cause the 0.45 reference to move higher. If the oxygen sensor cannot respond under the test conditions and generate a voltage greater than 0.609 volt or less than 0.307 volt, it will set a DTC P0146. Possible causes of DTC P0146 are:
    • Open in CKT 1668 or 1669.
    • Short to voltage on CKT 1668 or 1669.
    • Oxygen sensor that malfunctions.
    • An ineffective oxygen sensor heater.
    • A poor HO2S ground.

    P0147 :O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 3)
    This diagnostic test is used to determine if the heating element in the post-converter oxygen sensor is operating properly. An oxygen sensor acts as a battery because it creates its own voltage once it reaches operating temperature. This voltage is produced when the oxygen content in the exhaust stream is different than that in the atmosphere. The heating element is energized through CKT 139 when the ignition is ON and allows the oxygen sensor to reach operating temperature quickly. This in turn allows the PCM to enter Closed Loop fuel control quicker. When cold the voltage that the PCM measures on the HO2S HI and LOW inputs is called bias voltage. If it takes too long for the HO2S to vary above or below the bias voltage within a specific time since key ON DTC P0147 will set

    P1323:IC 24X Referance Circut Low Frequency
    The Ignition Control Module creates a 4X signal and a 24X signal that is used by the PCM for ignition and fuel control. In this diagnostic test, the PCM checks for 4X reference pulses being received without 24X reference pulses. When the engine is running and the PCM is receiving 4X reference pulses without 24X reference pulses and the 24X reference signal line is low for 4 seconds, DTC P1323 is set.

    P01377:IC Cam Pulse To 4X Referance
    This diagnostic test checks to see if there are eight 4X reference pulses between CAM signals. Do not attempt diagnosis or repair unless the customer is experiencing driveability problems associated with this DTC.

    Hope this helps!

    99 Saturn SC1 ''Service engine soon'' light is on.

    Did you get the code that triggered the SEL? If you know that, it will be easier to diagnose your problem. You can do it without a tool on the old saturns. Just need a paperclip. :

    Use a paper clip to jumper Terminal A and B of the ALDL *Assembly Line Diagnostic Link* which is above your left knee.
    Terminal A is an interal ground and is the top right terminal in the connector. Terminal B is directly adjacent and to the left of Terminal A.

    Turn the ignition to ON.

    All codes are 2 digits between 11 and 99. Codes are displayed on the SES light by flashing the light with short and long pauses to distinguish digits of one code from digits of another. The short pause is used between digits of the same code, long pauses are between codes. Also, each code is flashed three times before going to the next code.

    For example, the sequence of code 12 will be: flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause, then repeat 2 times. If Code 12 is not displayed, the self-diagnostic pogram i snot functioning properly.

    If only Code 12 is displayed, no system malfunctions have been stored.

    Any existing system fault codes are displayed in order from low to high, except for Code 11.

    On vehicles with an automatic transaxle and on which exist stored transaxle codes, Code 11 will be displayed last, then the SHIFT TO D2 light will begin flashing transaxle codes of flags.

    When all engine codes have been displayed, Code 12 will flash again.

    Engine diagnostic codes

    I don't have a dodge ram but the codes for the dodge vehicles where pretty much the same. For my intrepid the codes read for the following numbers

    12 - Problem with battery connection (This usually happens if you disconnect the battery)
    21 - Problem with the oxygen sensor circuit
    52 - Oxygen Sensor signal input indicates rich mixture during engine operation.

    It sounds like you may need to change an oxygen sensor. Hope this helps.
