how to fix P0130 code in Renault Clio V (2019-Present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
• Allow the vehicle to cool down if the engine has been running.

2. Remove Oxygen Sensor

• Locate the upstream oxygen sensor (usually found in the exhaust manifold or front pipe).
• Use an oxygen sensor socket to unscrew the sensor from its location.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.

3. Inspect and Replace

• Inspect the old sensor for signs of damage or contamination.
• If the sensor is faulty, install the new oxygen sensor:
  • Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor (if not pre-coated).
  • Screw the sensor into the exhaust system and tighten it to the manufacturer’s specified torque (usually around 30-40 Nm).
  • Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

4. Clear Codes and Reconnect Battery

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0130 code from the ECU.

5. Test Drive

• Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
• Conduct a test drive to ensure the engine runs smoothly and the check engine light remains off.
