Definition of Code P2195

O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Lean- Bank 1 Sensor 1

What Does P2195 Mean?

The P2195 code is a result of the engine control module (ECM) indicating that the oxygen sensor is fluctuating outside its optimal range. This specified range is characterized by a minimum of 10 cycles per second. This sensor is nicknamed the air/fuel (A/F) ratio sensor, as it monitors the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust between the engine and the catalytic converter. This code indicates that the engine could be running lean or that there is a fault in the A/F O2 sensor. Use the FIXD Sensor and app to see the most likely fix and cost for P2195, get detailed diagnostics in plain English, access our Mechanic Hotline, and more. 

What Are the Symptoms of Code P2195?

• Check engine light
• Low engine power
• Engine misfires
• Engine running rough
• Engine overheating

What Is the Cause of Code P2195?

• Frayed oxygen sensor circuit wiring/connectors
• Faulty bank 1 heated oxygen sensor 1
• Malfunctioning fuel injector
• Vacuum leaks
• Fuel pressure too low
• Debris in Mass Airflow Sensor
• Exhaust leak

What Is the Severity of Code P2195? – Severe

Initially, this trouble code will not prevent your vehicle from running. The most common result(s) are lowered fuel economy and lack of power. However, if left unsolved, this code could cause internal engine damage as well as damage to other components, such as the catalytic converter and O2 sensors.

Code P2195 Common Diagnosis Mistakes

Prematurely replacing the oxygen (O2) sensor 1 before attempting to visually inspect the sensor wiring or checking for debris in MAF.

Tools Needed to Diagnose Code P2195:

• FIXD
• Fuel Pressure Gauge

How to Diagnose and Repair Code P2195:

Difficulty of Diagnosis and Repair – (3 out of 5)

1. Check to see if there are any other codes along with P2195 and clear your Check Engine Light with FIXD.
2. Conduct a visual inspection of wiring around the oxygen sensor(s) for fraying or disconnection. Test your oxygen sensors using FIXD’s live OBD2 data feature.
3. Visually check mass airflow sensor to see if it needs cleaning; clean as needed. Also, verify the air filter is properly installed, has no holes, and does not allow any debris past it.  
4. Replace vacuum lines or intake air tube if there are signs of cracks or disconnections.
5. Check for any exhaust leaks between the engine and the post catalytic O2 sensor. Repair as needed.
6. Consider replacing oxygen sensor 1 bank 1 if the check-engine light persists.
7. If concern persists, check the fuel pressure. If the pressure is low, you may need a fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump.
