2003 Olds Engine Light

Have a 2003 Olds Silhouette. The engine light came on so a friend of mine scanned it and we got p141

Can anyone tell me what that is and how to fix?

Thanks

Paul

A smoke test will pin point any unmetered air leaks.

PO141 is an Oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction (downstream sensor)

This points toward a wire heating problem within the circuit on the O2 sensor inserted into the exhaust system after the catalytic converter.

This does not mean the O2 sensor needs replacing. There is a test that is performed to ensure the system is correct or not.

Re: 2003 Olds Engine Light

Thanks guys.

Since reading the code, and reseting it, the code has not come back.

Will wait and see what may happen.
