Problem Statement

Learn how to diagnose and fix P0130 oxygen sensor issues in Honda Accord 9th Generation. Step-by-step guide with diagnostic procedures and repair instructions.

Error Code
P0130
Affected Component
Exhaust System
Estimated Time
1-2 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before working on the exhaust system to avoid burns.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Poor fuel economy
  • •Rough engine idle
  • •Increased emissions
  • •Failed emissions test

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to confirm P0130 and check for any other related codes.
  2. 2Inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the upstream O2 sensor for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
  3. 3Measure the voltage output from the upstream O2 sensor using a multimeter to ensure it is within the expected range (0.1 to 0.9 volts).
  4. 4Check the O2 sensor ground circuit to confirm there is continuity and it is not corroded.
  5. 5Inspect the vehicle's exhaust system for any leaks that may affect sensor performance.
  6. 6If all previous checks are satisfactory, consider testing or replacing the upstream O2 sensor.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Remove the Upstream Oxygen Sensor

  • Locate the upstream O2 sensor on the exhaust manifold.
  • Use an O2 sensor socket to carefully unscrew the sensor from its mounting.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the O2 sensor by pressing the tab and pulling it apart.

3. Install the New Oxygen Sensor

  • Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new O2 sensor (if not pre-coated).
  • Thread the new O2 sensor into the exhaust manifold by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  • Tighten the sensor using the O2 sensor socket to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically around 30 ft-lbs, check specific service manual for exact values).
  • Reconnect the electrical connector ensuring it clicks into place securely.

4. Reconnect the Battery

  • Reattach the negative terminal of the battery and ensure it is tight.

5. Clear the Codes

  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0130 code from the vehicle's computer.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • ✓Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • ✓Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • ✓Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • •OBD-II scanner
  • •O2 sensor socket
  • •Multimeter
  • •Torque wrench
  • •Anti-seize compound

Parts Required
