It detects a wide range of air\/fuel ratios in the exhaust gas from the rich to lean regions. This linear O2 sensor produces a current that corresponds to a specific air\/fuel ratio. The Powertrain Control Module (<a href=\"\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/pcm-engine-computer.html\"><b>PCM<\/b><\/a>) monitors this signal and determines whether the air\/fuel mixture is rich or lean. The <a href=\"\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/pcm-engine-computer.html\"><b>PCM<\/b><\/a> constantly monitors the linear O2 sensor and increases or decreases the fuel injection duration using this signal. This is called closed-loop fuel control operation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">Possible causes<\/div>\n<div class=\"info_code\">&#8211; Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1<br \/>\n&#8211; Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 harness is open or shorted<br \/>\n&#8211; Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection<\/div>\n<div class=\"desc\">P2251 Hyundai Description<\/div>\n<div class=\"info_code\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Code P0507 &#8211; Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected<br \/>\nIf there are no intake leaks, clean throttle body, adjust engine idle and erase engine code.
