Trouble Code PCM P0141

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

Examine the O2 sensor wiring and the O2 sensor. The sensor is a service item, with a relatively inexpensive replacement cost, so it is likely to simply need replacement.

Here is the O2 Sensor Location Key:

Bank 1 Sensor 1 - right bank (rear) manifold

Bank 1 Sensor 2 - pre-cat

Bank 1 Sensor 3 - aft-cat

Bank 2 Sensor 1 - left bank (front) manifold

Bank 1 Sensor 2 is going to be behind the CAT.

Ranger your post has made me wonder if my chart that i have been using for years is correct, isn't it the pre cat sensor or the front cat sensor?

The pre-cat sensor was discontinued during the 1998 production year.

Hmm Very Interesting, this is another one of those Gotcha Ya's... Thanks Jim

Sorry Mike. Didn't mean to throw you a curve ball. Been gotch'd by that one myself.

My 1998 Seville Service Manual shows two different oxygen sensor wiring diagrams in the Engine Controls section.

One diagram shows four oxygen sensors with a title that includes "(Early Production)".

The second diagram shows three oxygen sensors with the a title that includes "(Later Production)".

No dates are given but my '98 Seville came to life in February, 1998 and I have three oxygen sensors.

The bank 1, sensor 2 nomenclature was dropped. And that makes sense because the bank 1, sensor 2 is no longer installed.

Hi folks, and thank you for all comments. Still somewhat confused: does bank 1 sensor 2 still exist, and is location behind CAT correct?

Correct.

We sort of hi-jacked your thread and the question got buried in the dust. Bank 1 sensor 2 is directly behind the catalytic converter on your year model.
