Order of inspection

  1. P0157 O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2 Sensor 2) Low

    The P0157 code means the bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor is reading low voltage all the time, which the computer reads as a lean mixture. The most common causes are an exhaust leak ahead of the sensor, an aging sensor, or a signal wire shorted to ground. It rarely affects how the car drives, but it will keep you from passing an emissions test.
