code P0141?

Hello,

The Direct Trouble Code[DTC] P0420 is the DTC that sets when your vehicle's catalytic converters efficiency has diminished to the point where it needs to be replaced, i.e. it's worn out. That is the reason the DTC came back after replacing the downstream O2 sensor and clearing the code. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for the removal and installation of the catalytic converter for your vehicle. Please go through this guide and report back with how everything turns out.

Thanks,

My code was P0141. That's the heater? The catalytic converter seems like it would be a different code? I never had the code for P0420.

Thinking it could be a blown fuse.

Hello again,

Sorry, I completely missed that the DTC number was P0141. In the diagrams down below I have included the diagnostic troubleshooting flowchart for DTC P0141 for your vehicle from the vehicle manufacturer. Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,

The car looks like it's missing a few fuses. could that have anything to do with it?

Do any of these fuses control the second sensor?

We tested all the cables. We have power going to the sensor. The sensor is good. We need a wire diagram for the o2 sensor downstream.

We got for generic codes.

Hello again,

I can't really see what the DTC's are on your code reader because of the glare on the screen. If you could type them in for me that would be better, and I would be happy to help you out with those. In the diagrams down below I have included the Power-train Management wiring diagrams for your vehicle with the Air Fuel Sensor[AF], a newer generation of an O2 sensor, which your vehicle uses, wires highlighted for you. Please get back to us with those DTC's and I hope this helps.

Thanks,

We had someone check all of the wiring and everything was where it was supposed to be. So far we're thinking it's the computer. So we are going to change the computer.

Hello again,

Okay, if you could please give me the DTC's from the code reader we can give you specific step by step flowchart guides from the vehicle manufacturer that will lead you directly to the problem for each DTC.

Thanks,

We replaced the computer and reprogrammed the computer. We found a crack on the motherboard the computer from a previous crash and now the problem is all fixed. Appreciate the help.

SCGRANTURISMO is one of our best! Glad you could get it fixed, that kind of problem can be tough. Please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.

I got the two codes P0135 & P0141 recently after the shop installed my race header with no cat with a angle defouler then CEL came on they said probably back pressure from stock exhaust. so i went and got an apexxi ws2 exhaust system and still same result. so they went and got another thing to trick it by connect it to the 2ndary o2 sensor by splicing the wires and connecting to it. Still not working. going to replace both sensor soon and if it don't work what can I check and do.

Hi wyang46,

Both gets their power suply from the PGM-FI main relay, check if power is available.

Grounding is via PCM so check for broken wire circuits.

Could you explain more I trying to fix it so how do I know if it is groud all the wires on both o2's looks fine no tear.

Hi Hi wyang46, I have attached a testing procedure for you. DTC P0135: A/F SENSOR (SENSOR 1) HEATER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information 1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS. 3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle. 4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0135 indicated? YES - Go to step 5. NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the PGM-FI subrelay, and the ECM/PCM. 5. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 6. Check the No. 11 FI SUB (15 A) fuse in the underhood fuse/relay box. Is the fuse OK? YES - Go to step 7. NO - Go to step 18. 7. Test the PGM-FI subrelay (E) in the under-hood fuse/relay box .

Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector. 9. At the sensor side, measure resistance between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4.

Fig. 27: Measuring Resistance Between A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) 4P Connector Terminals No. 3 And No. 4 Courtesy of AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. Is there 2.0-2.7 Ω at room temperature? YES - Go to step 10. NO - Go to step 22. 10. At the sensor side, check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3, and between terminals No. 1 and No. 4 individually.

YES - Go to step 22. NO - Go to step 11. 11. Jump the SCS line with the HDS. 12. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector C (44P). 13. Check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and ECM/PCM connector terminal C9.

YES - Go to step 14. NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (C9) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 23. 14. Remove the PGM-FI subrelay (E) from the underhood fuse/relay box. 15. Check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 4 and PGM-FI subrelay 4P connector terminal No. 2.

Thank you for all your help but what about the P0141 and is there a site where I can this info from. is the ex model same as the SI because I have the SI model.

Hi wyang46,

If you want any information you can try getting an online shop manual at Mitchell1. Their data are quite comprehensive and since you are interested in tinkering with the car, that would be the best option.

thanks I fixed the P0135 the O2 was bad and replaced it but I still have P0141 and going to replace that later this week thanks for your help really appreciated.

Found out my fuse box blew out so I just bought a new one. Going to see if that fixes some of the problems I've had after I had a new computer installed. I have a starter problem error now.

If the fuse box is shorted it will cause all kinds of problem lets replace it first then see what happens. Remember to clear codes after the installation. This video will help

Please let us know what happens.

I replaced the fuse. Now I’m getting a starter system problem. I’m not sure if that has to do with the remote start. When I try to start the car fro l'm outside with remote start it doesn’t work.

Also when I lock my car my gas cap opens. I noticed too that the latch looks broken as well. Also when locking the car the cars lights don’t flash. I’ve tried fixing them in the settings but still nothing.
