Use the Zeus app to scan your vehicle and see the error code P0151. It indicates that there is a fault in the oxygen sensor located in the bank 2 sensor 1 location of the vehicle.
1. Method A: Paste the Exhaust Leaks
The exhaust system begins at the engine combustion chambers and runs along the undercarriage of the vehicle, eventually ending with the visible tailpipe. If you have a leak, get some exhaust putty to seal it up. Clean the leaking area with sandpaper and a wet wipe, then apply and press the paste to seal the leaking area. Let it cure for 2 to 24 hours depending on the external temperature.
2. Method B: Wrap Up the Exhaust Leaks
Clean the leaking area with sandpaper and a wet wipe, then wrap the heat wrap around the area and overlap it a couple of inches on each side. Repeat the process three or four times and start the car to let it run for 30 minutes so the heat cures it and makes a permanent fix.
3. Method C: The Oxygen Sensor
Visually check the oxygen sensor’s electrical connections, wire harness, and metal tabs for any damages. If damages are found, replace the oxygen sensor.
After the repair, use the Zap to clear the error code and tap the rescan button one more time to make sure everything is fine with your vehicle.
