    Default help please! 02 sensor question

    hey guys just wondering what in gods name does this mean?

    P2234 - Generic
    Type Powertrain - Fuel and Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls - ISO/SAE Controlled

    Description
    O2 Sensor Signal Circuit Shorted to Heater Circuit
    Location Bank 2 Sensor 1

    Notes
    P2231-P2236, This diagnostic is for the sensors (both wide band and switching) that have a PWM controlled heater. If the heater shorts to the signal circuit, the control module can determine this since the signal circuit will be shorted high at the same frequency that the heaters are operating at.

    Any help would be great, thank you!

    Cylinder 1 is on RHS. So bank 1 should be RHS.

    Should be front sensor.

    Sounds like the same issue that the VS had. Replacing the sensor won't fix it, you will have to rewire the earth for the sensor back to the PCM, or cut the heater wire. I don't know which one it is on the VZ.
