P0140
DTC P0140: Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (sensor 2)Heated Oxygen Sensor (rear) Circuit Part 1:
Heated Oxygen Sensor (rear) Circuit Part 2:
CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is sent to the ECM
- Terminal No. 2 of the heated oxygen sensor (rear) is grounded with ECM (terminal No. 75)
- The ECM
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The output signal of the heated oxygen sensor (front) is compensated by the output signal of the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
- The ECM
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
- Heated oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage does not change during specified go/stop operations including fuel cut are repeated.
MONITOR EXECUTION
- Continuous
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)

DTC SET CONDITIONS
Logic Flow Chart:
Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
- Engine coolant temperature is higher than 76 degrees C (169 degrees F).
- The heated oxygen sensor (front) is active.
- The cumulative volume airflow sensor output frequency is higher than 4,000 Hz.
- Repeat 3 or more times: drive*1, stop*2.
Drive*1:
- Engine speed is higher than 1,500 r/min.
- Volumetric efficiency is higher than 40 percent.
- Vehicle speed is higher than 30 km/h (19 mph).
- A total of more than 10 seconds have elapsed with the above mentioned conditions, and more than 2 seconds have elapsed with the fuel shut off.
Stop*2:
- Vehicle speed is lower than 1.5 km/h (1 mph).
Judgement Criterion
- Change in the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor (rear) is lower than 0.313 volt.
NOTE: Monitoring stops after fuel has been shut off for more than 38 seconds.
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 12 OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern Lists.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:)
- Heated oxygen sensor (rear) deteriorated.
- Connector damage.
- ECM failed.
- PCM failed.
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991911: Main Harness B
STEP 1. Replace the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
1. Replace the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
2. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 12 OBD-II Drive Cycle Pattern Lists.
3. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0140 set?
YES: Refer to DTC P0137 - Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (sensor 2), DTC P0138 - Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit High Voltage (sensor 2).
NO: The inspection is complete.
