Code P0153 Nissan Description

The front heated oxygen sensor (or O2 sensor 1) is placed into the exhaust manifold. It detects the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas compared to the outside air. The heated oxygen sensor 1 has a closed-end tube made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates voltage from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner conditions. The heated oxygen sensor 1 signal is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM adjusts the injection pulse duration to achieve the ideal air-fuel ratio. The ideal air-fuel ratio occurs near the radical change from 1V to 0V.

    Got codes P0133 and P0153. Read the codes and replaced the two O2 sensors. After about 30 minutes of driving, the Check Engine light came on again. I checked the codes and they were the same, P0133 and P0153. What else can I do to correct the code?

  • There is a factory service bulletin for a problem where the P0133 and P0153 codes are presen and there are no drivability issues. The bulletin recommends reprograming the ECM.


    DTC P0133 and/or P0153 (A/F Sensor 1) is stored in the ECM
