Code P0130 what it means and how to fix it

The OBD-II trouble code P0130 indicates an issue with the primary heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in bank 1, sensor 1. This sensor is responsible for monitoring the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases and providing feedback to the engine control module (ECM) to adjust the air/fuel mixture for optimal combustion.
Here are the steps to diagnose and potentially fix this issue as a mobile mechanic: Diagnosis:
1. Use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the specific trouble code P0130.
2. Locate the primary heated oxygen sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) in the exhaust system, typically before the catalytic converter.
3. Inspect the sensor and its wiring for any visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
4. Test the primary heated oxygen sensor using a multimeter to measure its resistance and voltage output.
5. Check for exhaust leaks or other issues in the exhaust system that could affect the sensor's readings.
Repair:
1. If the primary heated oxygen sensor is found to be faulty, based on resistance or voltage readings, it may need to be replaced.
2. Ensure that the replacement sensor is compatible with the specific make and model of the vehicle.
3. If there are exhaust leaks or other issues in the exhaust system, repair or replace affected components.
4. After making the necessary repairs, clear the trouble code using the OBD-II scanner.
5. Conduct a road test to verify that the check engine light does not reappear, indicating a successful repair.
