HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 1 Slow Response
on 2021 Kia K5 2.5L I4 Turbo · FWD
What this code means
The PCM has detected that the upstream heated oxygen sensor on Bank 1 is switching between rich and lean too slowly. The sensor response time exceeds the maximum allowable threshold for accurate fuel control.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Poor fuel economy
- Failed emissions test
- Slightly rough idle
Common causes
- Aging O2 sensor with degraded response time
- O2 sensor contaminated with silicone or coolant
- Exhaust leak near sensor
- O2 sensor heater circuit issue
- Wiring causing signal delay
Diagnostic steps
- Monitor O2 sensor switching rate on scan tool at steady 2500 RPM
- Compare response time to specification
- Check O2 sensor heater circuit operation
- Inspect for exhaust leaks near sensor
- Check sensor wiring for high resistance
Repair notes
Replace the upstream O2 sensor on Bank 1 if the response time exceeds specification.
