Upstream heater resistance 2 fault
Causes
- Open or high‑resistance heater element in upstream O2 sensor (Bank 2)
- Shorted heater element to ground or to power
- Corroded/damaged sensor connector or wiring (open or high resistance)
- Blown fuse or failed relay supplying the heater circuit
- Poor ground or intermittent connection
- Excessive exhaust heat or physical damage to sensor wiring
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
- Longer than normal time to reach closed‑loop fuel control
- Reduced fuel economy and possible drivability issues during cold running
- Failed emissions test or elevated tailpipe emissions
- Diagnostic trouble code stored for O2 heater circuit
What to check
- Read freeze‑frame and live data with a scan tool; verify O2 heater status/commands for Bank 2 upstream sensor
- Visually inspect the sensor, connector and harness for corrosion, burns, breaks or heat damage
- Check for blown fuses and heater relay related to O2 sensor heater supply
- Measure heater circuit resistance at the sensor (engine off, sensor disconnected)
- Backprobe harness to confirm supply voltage and ground when heater is commanded ON (use safe procedures)
- Perform continuity/resistance check from sensor connector to ECU connector to find open/high resistance or short
Signal parameters
- Expected heater element resistance (typical): approx. 2–20 ohms (varies by sensor type — consult OEM spec)
- Supply voltage: approx. battery voltage (12 V) available to heater when commanded ON
- Heater current draw when ON: typically 0.5–3 A depending on sensor
- ECU will command heater ON until sensor reaches operating temperature; scan tool shows heater status
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record DTC(s), freeze frame and live data. Confirm code P1155 is current and note related codes.
- Visually inspect Bank 2 upstream O2 sensor, connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, heat exposure or soot.
- Check related fuses and relays for the heater circuit; replace if blown and investigate cause.
- With ignition OFF, disconnect the sensor and measure heater resistance across the heater pins. Compare to OEM spec. If open/infinite or well outside expected range, replace sensor.
- If resistance at sensor looks normal, check wiring continuity between sensor connector and ECU connector; repair any open/high resistance found.
- With a safe method (backprobing and protective measures), command heater ON via scan tool and measure voltage at the heater supply pin and ground. Verify voltage present when commanded and that current draw is within expected range.
- Inspect for short to ground or power in the harness if measured resistance is very low. Repair insulation or routing as required.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform test drive/monitoring to confirm heater reaches temperature, sensor enters closed loop and P1155 does not return.
- If wiring and sensor check good but fault persists, consider ECU diagnostic/repair as a last resort (verify with manufacturer guidance).
Likely causes
- Heater element inside Bank 2 upstream O2 sensor is open or has excessive resistance
- Connector pins corroded / wiring chafed causing high resistance or open circuit
- Heater fuse or heater relay open
- Wire short to ground causing apparent low resistance to ECU
- ECU driver fault (least likely)

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Lean Mean Bank 2 Sensor 1
Causes
- Open or high‑resistance heater element in upstream O2 sensor (Bank 2)
- Shorted heater element to ground or to power
- Corroded/damaged sensor connector or wiring (open or high resistance)
- Blown fuse or failed relay supplying the heater circuit
- Poor ground or intermittent connection
- Excessive exhaust heat or physical damage to sensor wiring
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
- Longer than normal time to reach closed‑loop fuel control
- Reduced fuel economy and possible drivability issues during cold running
- Failed emissions test or elevated tailpipe emissions
- Diagnostic trouble code stored for O2 heater circuit
What to check
- Read freeze‑frame and live data with a scan tool; verify O2 heater status/commands for Bank 2 upstream sensor
- Visually inspect the sensor, connector and harness for corrosion, burns, breaks or heat damage
- Check for blown fuses and heater relay related to O2 sensor heater supply
- Measure heater circuit resistance at the sensor (engine off, sensor disconnected)
- Backprobe harness to confirm supply voltage and ground when heater is commanded ON (use safe procedures)
- Perform continuity/resistance check from sensor connector to ECU connector to find open/high resistance or short
Signal parameters
- Expected heater element resistance (typical): approx. 2–20 ohms (varies by sensor type — consult OEM spec)
- Supply voltage: approx. battery voltage (12 V) available to heater when commanded ON
- Heater current draw when ON: typically 0.5–3 A depending on sensor
- ECU will command heater ON until sensor reaches operating temperature; scan tool shows heater status
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record DTC(s), freeze frame and live data. Confirm code P1155 is current and note related codes.
- Visually inspect Bank 2 upstream O2 sensor, connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, heat exposure or soot.
- Check related fuses and relays for the heater circuit; replace if blown and investigate cause.
- With ignition OFF, disconnect the sensor and measure heater resistance across the heater pins. Compare to OEM spec. If open/infinite or well outside expected range, replace sensor.
- If resistance at sensor looks normal, check wiring continuity between sensor connector and ECU connector; repair any open/high resistance found.
- With a safe method (backprobing and protective measures), command heater ON via scan tool and measure voltage at the heater supply pin and ground. Verify voltage present when commanded and that current draw is within expected range.
- Inspect for short to ground or power in the harness if measured resistance is very low. Repair insulation or routing as required.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform test drive/monitoring to confirm heater reaches temperature, sensor enters closed loop and P1155 does not return.

- If wiring and sensor check good but fault persists, consider ECU diagnostic/repair as a last resort (verify with manufacturer guidance).
Likely causes
- Heater element inside Bank 2 upstream O2 sensor is open or has excessive resistance
- Connector pins corroded / wiring chafed causing high resistance or open circuit
- Heater fuse or heater relay open
- Wire short to ground causing apparent low resistance to ECU
- ECU driver fault (least likely)

P1155
Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit Short To B+
Causes
- Open or high‑resistance heater element in upstream O2 sensor (Bank 2)
- Shorted heater element to ground or to power
- Corroded/damaged sensor connector or wiring (open or high resistance)
- Blown fuse or failed relay supplying the heater circuit
- Poor ground or intermittent connection
- Excessive exhaust heat or physical damage to sensor wiring
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
- Longer than normal time to reach closed‑loop fuel control
- Reduced fuel economy and possible drivability issues during cold running
- Failed emissions test or elevated tailpipe emissions
- Diagnostic trouble code stored for O2 heater circuit
What to check
- Read freeze‑frame and live data with a scan tool; verify O2 heater status/commands for Bank 2 upstream sensor
- Visually inspect the sensor, connector and harness for corrosion, burns, breaks or heat damage
- Check for blown fuses and heater relay related to O2 sensor heater supply
- Measure heater circuit resistance at the sensor (engine off, sensor disconnected)
- Backprobe harness to confirm supply voltage and ground when heater is commanded ON (use safe procedures)
- Perform continuity/resistance check from sensor connector to ECU connector to find open/high resistance or short
Signal parameters
- Expected heater element resistance (typical): approx. 2–20 ohms (varies by sensor type — consult OEM spec)
- Supply voltage: approx. battery voltage (12 V) available to heater when commanded ON
- Heater current draw when ON: typically 0.5–3 A depending on sensor
- ECU will command heater ON until sensor reaches operating temperature; scan tool shows heater status
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve and record DTC(s), freeze frame and live data. Confirm code P1155 is current and note related codes.
- Visually inspect Bank 2 upstream O2 sensor, connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, heat exposure or soot.
- Check related fuses and relays for the heater circuit; replace if blown and investigate cause.
- With ignition OFF, disconnect the sensor and measure heater resistance across the heater pins. Compare to OEM spec. If open/infinite or well outside expected range, replace sensor.
- If resistance at sensor looks normal, check wiring continuity between sensor connector and ECU connector; repair any open/high resistance found.
- With a safe method (backprobing and protective measures), command heater ON via scan tool and measure voltage at the heater supply pin and ground. Verify voltage present when commanded and that current draw is within expected range.
- Inspect for short to ground or power in the harness if measured resistance is very low. Repair insulation or routing as required.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform test drive/monitoring to confirm heater reaches temperature, sensor enters closed loop and P1155 does not return.
- If wiring and sensor check good but fault persists, consider ECU diagnostic/repair as a last resort (verify with manufacturer guidance).
