Threw code P0153

[hotdog71]

Hi,

My Stang threw code P0153, 02 circuit slow response (bank 2, sensor 1) can anyone elaborate on what this means or how it would effect my car?

Does this mean I have a O2 sensor going and need to replace it?

I cleared the code and it didn't come back on when I was testing the car.

thanks

most likely you will end up needing a new 02 sensor, this sensor is located on the drivers side and is the 02 sensor closest to the engine.

this code is set when one of the 02 sensors is not switching as it should.

thanks,

Do you know what effect it might have on the car if it's not working correctly?


what would you recommend as a replacement Ford?

thanks again

I somehow broke one of my O2's way back when I put my bassani x pipe in that I used to run. I thought the CEL was for the the cats, but later found out one of the O2's was bad. After so long, it started missfiring very badly, and the car went into limp mode.

Ford would be a good place to get your replacement. I went and picked up mine at an auto parts store. Its a bosch unit and I've been running it for roughly 15-20k miles with no issues.
