Hi i have a 2002 ford ranger and it has teas codes P0446 P0135 P0141 P2195 P0403 P0171

No code tells you to replace a part , need to do diagnostic's for said code .

DW9 DTCS P0135, P0139, P0141, P0147, P0155, P0159 OR P0161: CHECK FOR A SOURCE OF POTENTIAL HO2S CONTAMINATION

• Investigate the following items as potential sources of HO2S contamination:
  • use of unapproved silicon sealers
  • fuel contaminated by silicon additives
  • excessive oil consumption
  • glycol leaking internally in the engine
  • lead-contaminated fuel
  • short drive cycles in cold weather
  • use of unapproved cleaning agents

Is a concern present?
Yes No REPAIR the source of the contamination.

CHANGE the engine oil and oil filter.

RESET the keep alive memory (KAM). REFER to Section 2, Resetting The Keep Alive Memory (KAM) .

REPEAT the self-test. GO to DW10 .

The fault code P0135 means O2 Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
The code P0141 means O2 Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

Hi there:


P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).



A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:



open or short to ground in the wiring harness
O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
O2 heater element resistance is high
Internal short or open in the heater element
Note: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

i would start looking for vacuum leaks first,

I don't have access to my manuals right now, but do this - google "Ford DTC code P0102" and see what comes up. Then do other codes same way. You will be sure to gert ideas, especially if it is a help site. I'll check back & see how you are doing.

Report results & progress

p0136 and p0141 are o2 sensors and p0401 is a egr flow and the p0171 means its running lean on low bank 1

Hello,
Very common concern with the Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac and Ranger with the 4.0l SOHC engine! The upper and lower intake manifold gaskets fail, causing vacuum leaks..It can be Extremely difficult to detect these leaks, because they only leak intermittently (usually in the AM after a cold soak)... As the engine warms up they seal back up! Sometimes the vehicle will idle rough, surge or stall after initial start up, then the symptoms will clear after it gets to operating temperature... Usually there will be no driveability symptoms at all, except the engine light coming on and setting lean codes.. The gaskets have been redesigned to correct this concern..
