how to fix P0130 code on my Volvo XC60 Second Generation (2018-2024)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on the electrical system.

2. Inspect Wiring and Connectors

• Tools Required: Visual inspection tools (flashlight, mirror)
• Carefully examine the wiring harness and connectors to the oxygen sensor for frays, cuts, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.

3. Replace Oxygen Sensor

• Tools Required: O2 sensor socket, ratchet, torque wrench
• Locate the Bank 1 Sensor 1 oxygen sensor (usually located before the catalytic converter).
• Remove the connector from the old oxygen sensor.
• Use the O2 sensor socket to unscrew the old sensor from the exhaust pipe.
• Install the new oxygen sensor in the same location and torque to the manufacturer's specification (typically around 30-40 lb-ft).
• Reconnect the sensor’s electrical connector.

4. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the battery terminals.
• Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any new codes and confirm that the P0130 code has not returned.
