OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0137 Opel

O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0137 Opel definition:
Essentially the same as P0136 Opel, P0137 Opel definition:the second oxygen sensor on Bank 1. P0137 Opel 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.
