Faulty lambda sensor? ECU codes 38 and 91
« on: 28 June 2010, 20:18:54 »

I have a 1996 Opel Omega. And got the fault codes:
38 and 91. Is my lambda sensor faulty?

38 Oxygen sensor circuit - voltage high
91 Oxygen heating - voltage high

Before condemning the sensor I`d do a thorough inspection of the wiring first

I think the two 'high voltage' signals indicate an open circuit.

An open circuit could be caused by either faulty wiring or a faulty sensor.

If you have satisfied yourself that it isn't a wiring fault then it is probably time for a new lambda sensor.
