Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts.
  • Allow the engine to cool if it has been running.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

  • Sub-steps:
    • Remove the engine cover if applicable.
    • Visually inspect the wiring harness leading to Bank 1 Sensor 1 for frays or breaks.
    • Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the wires.
