360 P0132 CEL Question

Hmmmmmm, you're not going to like my answer.

An O2 sensor reacts to the A/F ratio, not the heat. The original sensor and all sensors I'm aware of have a negative coefficient to A/F ratio. So, a high voltage would indicate that you have a rich or high fuel to air ratio(a low air to fuel ratio). Using your vernacular, you have unburnt or partially burnt fuel in the exhaust stream, which would indicate that you should move the sensor backward, if and only if the products of combustion have excess air/O2 to use in burning the fuel left over in the exhaust. If you have a rich mixture and there is no air left to burn the remnant fuel, nothing you do to relocate can fix the problem.

Did you disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes so that the ECUs will go into learn mode? Did you change O2 sensor vendors, or use the original sensor? Did you clear the codes before taking measurements? Can you get the actual voltage off the O2 sensor?

 

Just ref your OBD2 and Bank 1 - my scan tool always hooks up to one ECU at a time and when I hook up first time it never gives me an option to choose which one - it just connects. In order to connect to the second ECU I have to tell it to disconnect and then reconnect. When it reconnects it then asks me do I want ECU 11 or 14 (from memory).

Just thought this might be of some help. (Ignore if not!)

Best of luck, I know nothing of 02 sensor issues!

 

bank one sensor one is the upstream 02 sensor. only the down stream sensors are pulled out of the air stream if you futz with the cats like deleteing them. You have an issue with the bank1 upstream sensor. Check wiring first, swap bank 1 sensors left right to look for a cel move etc. This has nothing to do with your downstream 02 sensor movement out of the stream.
