HO2S Insufficient Switching Bank 2 Sensor 1
on 2010 GMC Terrain 3.6L V6 · FWD
What this code means
The PCM determined that the upstream O2 sensor on Bank 2 is not switching between rich and lean often enough during closed-loop operation. This is the Bank 2 counterpart to P1133 and the two codes are frequently seen together.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Poor fuel economy
- Rough idle
- Hesitation
- Failed emissions test
Common causes
- Faulty or lazy upstream O2 sensor Bank 2
- Exhaust leak near sensor
- Vacuum leak
- Fuel delivery issue
- MAF sensor contamination
Diagnostic steps
- Monitor O2 sensor switching rate with scan tool
- Check for exhaust leaks
- Perform vacuum leak test
- Test fuel pressure
- Clean or test MAF sensor
Repair notes
Replace upstream O2 sensor Bank 2. Check for exhaust leaks. Commonly appears alongside P1133.
