how to fix P0130 code for O2 sensor in Renault Clio V (2019-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
• Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Remove the Oxygen Sensor

• Locate the upstream oxygen sensor on the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe.
• Use an oxygen sensor socket or a wrench to carefully unscrew the sensor from its mounting.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.

3. Inspect and Clean

• Visually inspect the oxygen sensor for any signs of damage or contamination.
• If the sensor is dirty, clean the threads with a wire brush and ensure the sensor is free of carbon deposits.

4. Install New Oxygen Sensor

• Apply anti-seize compound lightly on the threads of the new oxygen sensor (if recommended by the manufacturer).
• Carefully thread the new oxygen sensor into the exhaust manifold or pipe.
• Tighten the sensor to the manufacturer’s specified torque (usually around 30-35 lb-ft) using the oxygen sensor socket.
• Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

5. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
• Use a diagnostic scanner to check for any new codes and monitor the oxygen sensor's output voltage.
