P0154 Honda Code - Front Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1 Heater System Malfunction

Quick Answer

The front air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (Sensor 1 Bank 2) is activated by warming the element with the heater and by maintaining it at a steady high temperature to calculate accurate air/fuel (A/F) ratio. Common causes include Faulty Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1, Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1 harness is open or shorted, Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is Moderate - service should be scheduled soon. The vehicle may still be drivable for short trips if it runs normally, but avoid hard driving and repair it soon.

Code P0154 Honda Description

The front air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (Sensor 1 Bank 2) is activated by warming the element with the heater and by maintaining it at a steady high temperature to calculate accurate air/fuel (A/F) ratio. The front A/F sensor does not become active when the element is not warmed enough due to a heater malfunction, etc., and the exhaust emissions deteriorate. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the front A/F sensor active condition by the front A/F sensor internal resistance.
