I was being an idiot earlier when jumping another car and put the wrong terminal on the other battery causing it to spark and my battery to die. Long story short, I got my car's battery jumped and took it to autozone. They said my battery was fine, but said that either my oxygen sensor or A/F ratio sensor circuit low- bank 1 sensor 1 (P2238). Furthermore, they gave me 4 probable causes: 1. open or short circuit condition 2. poor electrical connection 3. Failed A/F sensor 4. Fuel pressure, vacuum leak, MAF sensor fault. The car does not run as smoothly as it did before. Thanks for your help!

That is not even close to what that code means. That code is for a problem with the Throttle/pedal position sensor d/e voltage correlation. This has to do with the "drive by wire" system and one of it's components. This is not something that you are going to be able to deal with. It's going to require a factory scan tool and extensive diagnostics to solve the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. mahmoodu08 New User Jun 3, 2011, 2:46 PM Post #3 of 4 (4939 views) Re: 2003 Camry oxygen sensor Sign In Thanks for the response. I googled this particular code and they all seem to be consistent with that they told me at autozone. Not to say that I think you're wrong, but where did you look up the code? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 3, 2011, 3:07 PM Post #4 of 4 (4922 views) Re: 2003 Camry oxygen sensor Sign In I stand corrected on that one. I was looking at a P2138 instead of P2238. That is a low voltage code for the upstream 0/2 sensor. It could be many different things from a lean mixture to a bad heater circuit for the sensor. it needs a lot more testing first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
