2004 T6 P0040 code Oxygen sensors signals switched

Post by Joppadad »

I have searched this forum and did find a relevant post to this issue, but it did not answer my question. 2004 XC90 2.9l is getting code P0040 O2 Sensor Signals Swapped Bank 1 Bank 2 Sensor 1...I know that bank 1 is cylinder 1-3 and then bank 2 is cylinder 4-6, I know where they plug in and here is my question. I know that the turbos have been replaced as I have the paper work, so they MAY have been swapped. What I need to know is which connector the 1-3 bank is supposed to be connected to, the white or the black connector?

Try switching the two, clear codes, see if the P0040 comes back. If it does come back, switch back and start looking for a different cause.

ECM-280C (P0040) Switched front heated oxygen sensors (HO2S). Faulty signal

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-280C

Condition
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-280C is stored if the engine control module (ECM) detects that both front heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) bank 1 and 2 have been switched (mounted in the incorrect bank of cylinders). The diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are diagnosed when the engine has been idling for 10 minutes

Substitute value
  • Long-term fuel trim is switched off
    Three-way catalytic converter (TWC) diagnostics are disabled.
Possible source
  • Faulty signal:
    Front heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are mounted in the incorrect cylinder banks
    Fuel injection system leakage
    Both the front heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are defective.
Fault symptoms
  • Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lit.

Since the connectors are color coded, is it likely that the sensors are installed in the wrong holes? Haven't looked at the routing on mine (ps-they're both dead, so I'll find out soon enough!)
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
