A code P0153 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: The oxygen sensor is faulty The wiring to the sensor is broken / frayed There is an exhaust leak
Solutions Things that may fix the problem include: Check and fix any exhaust leaks Check for wiring problems (shorted, frayed wires) Check the frequency and amplitude of the oxygen sensor (advanced) Check for a deteriorating / contaminated oxygen sensor, replace if necessary Check for inlet air leaks Check the MAF sensor for proper operation Replace the Bank 2 oxygen sensor upstream of the catalytic converter
