P0062

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The P0062 fault code indicates an issue with the heater control circuit of the third downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 3). This sensor is responsible for monitoring oxygen levels in the exhaust gases after the catalytic converter. When the voltage in the heater circuit is too high, it can disrupt the sensor's operation and accuracy.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Illuminated Check Engine Light

  • Poor engine performance or rough idling

  • Reduced fuel efficiency

  • Failed emissions test

  • Potential damage to the catalytic converter if the issue is not resolved

Possible Causes:

  • Malfunctioning downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 3)

  • Short circuit in the sensor's heater circuit

  • Problems with the wiring or connectors in the sensor's circuit

  • Faulty engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Heated Oxygen Sensor: This is one of the parts that fails very commonly. It measures the amount of oxygen to ensure proper combustion. Problems in the Oxygen Sensor lead to poor fuel economy

Possible Solutions:

  • Test and replace the defective downstream oxygen sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 3)

  • Inspect the wiring and connectors in the sensor's circuit for any signs of damage or loose connections

  • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors

  • If necessary, test and replace the engine control module (ECM)
