P0060

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0060 indicates a problem with the heater resistance of the downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 2). This sensor is responsible for monitoring the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases after the catalytic converter. The heater resistance issue can affect the sensor's performance and accuracy.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Check Engine Light illuminated

  • Poor engine performance or rough idling

  • Decreased fuel efficiency

  • Failed emissions test

  • Potential damage to the catalytic converter if left unresolved

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

  • Open or short circuit in the sensor's heater circuit

  • Wiring or connector problems in the sensor's circuit

  • Faulty engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Heated Oxygen Sensor: This is one of the parts that fails very commonly. It measures the amount of oxygen to ensure proper combustion. Problems in the Oxygen Sensor lead to poor fuel economy

Possible Solutions:

  • Test and replace the faulty downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

  • Inspect the wiring and connectors in the sensor's circuit for any damage or loose connections

  • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors

  • Test and replace the engine control module (ECM) if necessary
