OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0137 Ford

O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0137 Ford definition:
Essentially the same as P0136 Ford, P0137 Ford definition:the second oxygen sensor on Bank 1. P0137 Ford means the O2 oxygen sensor’s voltage remained low for longer than 2 minutes. This, is interpreted by the ECM as a low voltage condition and sets the MIL. Bank 1 Sensor 2 is located to the rear of the catalytic converter and should produce an output signal relative to oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter. This rear (sensor 2) sensor is less active than the signal produced by the front sensor. However, if the ECM senses the sensor is inactive, this code will set.
