VOLVO
ECM-P015326 - O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1). General Signal Failures. Signal rate of change below threshold
System
Engine Control Module (ECM)
Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
5 modelsS80 (2007–), V70 (2008–), XC60 (2009–), XC70 (2008–), XC90 (2003–)
What does this fault code mean?
The front oxygen sensor in bank 2 has to change its signal quickly enough when the mixture switches. The engine control module (ECM) measures how the signal changes and sets the code when the sensor does not activate or responds too slowly.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance in the connections
- Short circuit between the wires
- Damaged front oxygen sensor
What you can do
- 1Read the code, clear it and road test the car to see whether it comes back
- 2Clean and check the connector at the sensor in bank 2 for contact resistance; do not use rust solvent spray or grease
- 3Use a multimeter to check that the wires to the sensor are not shorted to each other
- 4If the fault remains, replace the front oxygen sensor in bank 2
Symptoms you may notice2
- Poor performance
- Check engine light (MIL) on
