not activity on bank 1 and bank 2

i had 2 codes come up the other day bank 1 and bank 2 no activity p0140 p0160. i changed my 02 senors and drivin around today got the codes again what could it be?

do you have a scan tool so that you can see what it is doing?

i have a basic obd2 reader but nothing fancy.

i think the only way to figure out what is going on is to get a scan tool or take it to the stealership...

anyone else have any different thoughts?

Sounds like something wrong with the O2 wiring harness or connectors on the way to the ECU, either an open or short. If it was totally open, I would expect O2 heater codes also.

Normaly, when opening properly. the signal for the O2 bounces between 100mV & 900mV. If it was always high or always low, then it would be considered not responding or the air would be continuously either too much oxygen or too little. This is not likely if the engine runs ok.

The other possibility, although not likely is the O2 inputs (or connector) to the ECU is bad.

Here is some more info:
Faults at the O2 sensor can be detected by means of the O2 sensor signal.
Defined limit values must be maintained for the O2 sensor voltage, the duration of the period and for the sensor status change.

The O2 sensor signal has a steep voltage jump (at lambda=1) at the transition from a rich (A) to a lean mixture (B). This property is utilized for the lambda closed-loop control.

Things that are monitored:
Duration of sensor state change for lean-rich transition
Duration of sensor state change for rich-lean transition
Duration between sensor state change
Threshold for rich range (e.g. greater than 475 mV)
Threshold for lean range (e.g. less than 425 mV)

There you go, I was expecting heater codes.

P0141 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0161 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

This means all the lines to the O2 sensor are not doing what they should.

Check wiring harness and connectors

Check your O2 wiring harness and connectors, from the O2 sensor up to the connection on the ECU. Something is probably open or shorted or mis-wired.

From these older posts, it would appear that you may have been playing with the O2 wires?

You can get wiring info at, Alldatadyi, it is $24.95 for a one year subscription:

Using the O2 spacers is definitely better than trying to use a simulator.

i did install o2 simulators but i spliced the wires on the side of the o2 sensor and ever since i have these codes pop up. i went and changed my o2 senors thinking it was them and now still the same. do you think the wires are bad? or did i short the pc or a relay?

On the O2 sensor:

View facing O2 connector, with flat at bottom, of electrical connection for O2sensor, starting with (1) at the lower right, running
counterclockwise, the pin out is:
1 Sensor heater
2 Sensor heater ground
3 O2 sensor signal ground
4 O2 sensor signal

If you disconnect the O2 sensor and read the voltage for the pins of the wiring harness O2 connector, with a DVM;;;

With the engine cold and running, you should see some voltage across the heater pins, probably around 12V. The O2 sensor signal pins should have about 0.47V across them for the read back signal, see below.

""The ground for the sensor signal is increased to approx. +0.268 V compared to the general vehicle ground e.g. at the ME 2.1 control unit. In the event of a short circuit of the sensor signal to ground, the ME control unit thus switches the lambda control to open-loop mode (average lambda value). This prevents a high fuel consumption.

The analysis circuit for the O2 sensor signal outputs a so-called sensor back voltage of approx. 0.470 V. If the O2 sensor is cold, the sensor internal resistance is so high that the O2 sensor voltage is initially equal to the backvoltage irrespective of the mixture composition.

The backvoltage at the ME control unit can be measured to the sensor ground if the O2 sensor is disconnected. ""

If this all comes up dead, then either the wiring harness is toast or the ECU is toast.

let me start with thanking you for all your help.

today i got some time to hook up a obd2 pc

and check the acitvity on the o2 sensors and i got

02s11 read out any were from .080-.745

02s12 .150-.445

02s21 .195-.740

02s22 .475 and all up and down

i got 12v on both senors bank 1 and bank 2

i also got a power on one other wire 2

the other 2 wires are dead no power.

also these are inc. catalyst mon, evap system mon, sec air system, oxygen sensor mon., and oxygen sens htr.

this was after i cleared the check engine light

i hope with this you can help me out. i hope its not my ecu. must be very expensive.

These seem like the first O2 sensors for each side, sensor 1, bank 1 & 2
which seem like they are working OK.

"02s11 read out any were from .080-.745"

"02s21 .195-.740"

These appear to be the sensors after the first cats

This is lean, too much O2, "02s12 .150-.445"
This one is not right

The threshold of rich is 0.470, "02s22 .475 and all up and down"
It should bounce from around 0.100V or 0.200V to around 0.900V or 0.800V
If the O2 sensor is not up to temp and not working the voltage should be about 0.470V (ECU read back voltage).

P0105 = Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Malfunction
This would mean the manifold vacuum is incorrect. Could be cause by a faulty vacuum hose.

It appears that the back two O2 sensors, after the front cat, are not giving proper readings. Read the note above, again.

There are four O2 sensors. All four need to work properly. All four need to have power, to their heaters, when the engine is cold. The O2 sensor needs to be 300 degrees, before it works, so cold start, needs the heaters.
