P0032 INFINITI Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Heater Bank 1 Control Circuit High

Possible causes
– Faulty Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1
– Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 harness is open shorted to ground
– Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection
– Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit fuse
– Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
Tech description
For models before 2005 see: P0032 Infiniti
When is the obd code mean?
The P0032 is set when the ECM detects an excessively low voltage through the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0032 INFINITI OBD Code Description

Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F)sensor need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 1200 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the air-fuel ratio sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the air-fuel ratio sensor. The ECM controls the air-fuel ratio sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground.

The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.
