Emissions Help
I recently purchased a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quadcab 4.7 4x4 5speed and I love it.
When I bought it the CEL was on and the seller told me it was a nothing code and it wouldn't give me a problem.
When I went to get my emissions done they pulled 3 codes:
P0031 HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0132 02 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0135 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
I cleared the codes at this point.
I drove home and the CEL Came on again.
I assumed it was the O2 sensor in bank 1 sensor 1 that was bad so I decided to swap it with bank 2 sensor 1 in order to make sure it wasn't wiring.
After the swap I read the codes again. This time I got:
P0031 - Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0051 - Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0141 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0161 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
Now I have O2 heater problems on every O2 sensor. I decided to clear the codes one more time and see what would come up.
When the CEL came on again I read them and got:
P0141 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0161 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
This leads me to think it's more of a wiring/electrical issue than it is a O2 sensor issue. If anyone can shed some light on this problem I would really appreciate it. I'm going to check all the connections today and get the codes read one more time and I will update the post.
PS. I'm also getting the following codes on the last 2 scans (not the first):
P0442 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak)
P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)
I'm pretty sure these are coming from the gas cap as I have filled up recently but I can't see how it could be a problem since the cap is very tight.
Thanks for any and all help!
