Learn how to diagnose and fix P0135 oxygen sensor issues in Genesis G70 IG (2017-2023). Step-by-step guide with diagnostic procedures and repair instructions.

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical short circuits.
• Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Inspect and Replace Oxygen Sensor

• Tools Required: O2 sensor socket, wrench set, multimeter, dielectric grease.

1. Locate the faulty oxygen sensor (typically located near the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter).
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the oxygen sensor.
3. Use the O2 sensor socket to remove the oxygen sensor from its mounting.
4. Inspect the sensor threads and sealing surface for damage; clean if necessary.
5. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new oxygen sensor to ensure easy installation.
6. Install the new oxygen sensor and torque it to the manufacturer's specification (typically around 30 lb-ft).
7. Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

3. Check and Replace Wiring or Fuse (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Multimeter, electrical tape, soldering iron (if repairs are needed).

1. Visually inspect the wiring harness for cracks, frays, or loose connections.
2. If damaged, repair the wiring using electrical tape or solder, ensuring proper insulation.
3. Check the associated fuse in the fuse box; replace it if it is blown.

4. Finalize Installation

1. Reconnect the vehicle battery.
2. Clear the error codes using the OBD-II scanner.
3. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
