Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Service Manual: P0138 Ho2s2
DTC Description
DTC DETECTION LOGIC
The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time between rich and lean than the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. The oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the longer switching time.
MALFUNCTION A
To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the voltage is unusually high during the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.

MALFUNCTION B
To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the minimum voltage of sensor is sufficiently low during the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
-
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
-
Turn ignition switch ON.
-
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
>>
GO TO 2.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A
-
Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
-
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
-
Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
-
Let engine idle for 2 minutes.
-
Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES>>Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.
NO-1>>With CONSULT: GO TO 3.
NO-2>>Without CONSULT: GO TO 5.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B
NOTE:
For better results, perform “DTC WORK SUPPORT” at a temperature of 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F).
-
Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.
-
Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
-
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
-
Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
-
Let engine idle for 1 minute.
-
Make sure that “COOLANT TEMP/S” indication is more than 70°C (158°F).
If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLANT TEMP/S” indication reaches 70°C (158°F).
-
Open engine hood.
-
Select “HO2S2 (B1) P1146” of “HO2S2” in “DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.
-
Follow the instruction of CONSULT.
NOTE:
It will take at most 10 minutes until “COMPLETED” is displayed.
-
Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULT”.
Which is displayed on CONSULT
OK>>INSPECTION END
NG>>Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.
CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED>>GO TO 4.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B AGAIN
-
Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the Nissan Ariya vehicle in a cool place (soak the vehicle).
-
Perform DTC confirmation procedure again.
>>
GO TO 3.
PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK FOR MALFUNCTION B
Perform component function check. Refer to Component Function Check.
NOTE:
Use component function check to check the overall function of the heated oxygen sensor 2 circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES-1>>To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.
YES-2>>Confirmation after repair: INSPECTION END
NO>>Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.
