  1. P0156 O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2) Low

    The P0156 code means the computer found an electrical fault in the bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor circuit. The most common culprits are a damaged connector, wiring burned by the exhaust, or the sensor itself. It rarely affects how the car drives, but it will keep you from passing an emissions test.
