P0160 error code is an OBD-II Code that refers to 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 2).\u00a0 It is related to bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor circuit activity. Read to know more.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What is a P0160 error code?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Oxygen sensors (O2 sensors) maintain tabs on the amount of oxygen (O2) in the exhaust stream, which aids your car’s engine to operate efficiently while also reducing pollutants. It’s also critical in determining the root cause of other system and component malfunctions. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The powertrain control module (PCM) may be unable to test other systems if one or more oxygen sensors are destroyed. Code P0160 may also be recorded by onboard diagnostics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor circuit shows no activity, P0160 is set. This is the cylinder number on the other side of the engine from cylinder one. Typically, Sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter in order to check its efficiency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Code P0160 indicates a problem with bank 2 sensor 2’s oxygen sensor circuit, as determined by the powertrain control module. An issue with the vehicle’s emissions system will be indicated by the Check Engine Light.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
