Well I did notice it right after I took my car to the car wash. They were turning my car off and on a lot moving it up in line, could that have caused it?

TSB 08-034-05

SUBJECT:
MIL Illumination, DTC's P0037, P0058, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0138, P0151, P0153,
P0159
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves repositioning the upstream Oxygen (O2) sensor connectors and
replacing the wiring harness connector(s) and O2 sensor(s) as necessary.
MODELS:
2005 - 2006 (LX) 300/Magnum/Charger
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 2.7L, 3.5L or 5.7L engine
(sales code EER, EGG or EZB).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
MIL Illumination due to one or more of the following DTC's:

· P0037-O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER CIRCUIT LOW

· P0058-O2 SENSOR 2/2 HEATER CIRCUIT HIGH

· P0131-O2 SENSOR 1/1 CIRCUIT LOW

· P0132-O2 SENSOR 1/1 CIRCUIT HIGH

· P0133-O2 SENSOR 1/1 SLOW RESPONSE

· P0138-O2 SENSOR 1/2 CIRCUIT HIGH

· P0151-O2 SENSOR 2/1 CIRCUIT LOW

· P0153-O2 SENSOR 2/1 SLOW RESPONSE

· P0159-O2 SENSOR 2/2 SLOW RESPONSE

The condition may be due to the cowl drain flowing water onto the connectors for the O2 sensor(s) at the center rear area of the engine. This leads to water intrusion into the wiring harness connector(s) which may lead to terminal corrosion and/or MIL illumination.

DIAGNOSIS:

NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a 5.7L engine (sales code EZB) and was built

on or before August 18, 2004 (MDH 0818XX), perform Service Bulletin
18-031-04 REV A as necessary before continuing with diagnosis. For 2.7L
and 3.5L engines continue with the diagnosis.
1. Open the hood

bank one is on the drivers side and bank two is on the passenger side

2. Disconnect the O2 Sensor connectors and check for water intrusion and/or corrosion in both upstream O2 sensor connectors at the center rear area of the engine.

a. If no water or corrosion is present, reposition the wiring harness connectors to the
outboard edge of the valve cover away from the center of the engine. Tie strap the
harnesses in place. If no water or corrosion was present, further diagnosis is
required. This bulletin does not apply.
b. If water is present but no corrosion, blow out the connector(s) and reposition the
wiring harness to the outboard edge of the valve cover away from the center of the
engine. Tie strap the harness in place.
c. If corrosion is present, perform the Repair Procedure.

I just had this code and a couple others pop up on my 2008 Dodge Charger SRT8.
I have had SLP long tube headers and HF cats but would only get P0420 and P0430 on occasion. I would just reset and go.
Yesterday I was driving home in an Ice storm where it rained ice and there was 2-5" of SLUSH all over on the ground and could hear it constantly spraying underneath the car.
The codes I recieved were:p0133, P0172, P0151, P0131 and the P0420 and P0430.
I reset with my predator and on my way home again I recieved P0151 and P0131 i believe.
What do I have going on here?
I drove around for 3 months with a huge leak before the cats because the clamps would not seal and never got these. I bought a Corsa Cat-Back and had EVERYTHING welded together to ensure no leaks a few weeks ago and had no CEL until i drove in the cold and slush.

Any ideas?

Slush spraying up, id get under and check for anything got disconnected. The moisture can work into the connectors and cause a short also.

Well after resetting all I am gettin is P0131.
I have checked wires and all seems fine. Nothing unplugged...
guess I need 02 sensor?
 
#11 ·
Could a cause be driving around with an exhaust leak before cat for 6 months?
Is it odd to have a bad sensor on a car with 35k miles??
 
#12 ·
Water poured out of the connector and it shorted out the sensor. 02 sensor was indeed the issue.

I want to change out the upstream connector with the kit mentioned above for O2 sensor 1-1.
But it doesn't fit, the plastic molding on the bottom is the one that is not make the part fit, it does fit the downstream connector.
Because the bottom platic is in the middle, on the .....994 O2 sensor that part is slightly out of the middle.
Is it ok to cut away the bottom plastic so it will slide into the connector?
