P0152 O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 1

P0152 indicates high voltage on the bank 2 sensor 1 oxygen-sensor circuit. The upstream bank 2 signal is higher than expected or stuck rich.

Code status

Needs verification

Not yet verified against SAE J2012_202509 / J2012DA. Treat unverified rows as a lookup aid, not repair authority.

System: Fuel / Air
Scope: iso-sae-controlled-p0
Standard: SAE J2012 / ISO 15031-6

Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not treat P0152 as a catalyst fault; start with upstream sensor circuit behavior and rich-condition causes.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Review bank 2 fuel trims, fuel pressure, purge flow, injector leakage, and rich-running symptoms before replacing the sensor.
Inspect signal wiring for short-to-voltage, poor connector condition, and contamination that can bias the signal high.
Compare bank 2 sensor response during a controlled lean change to see whether the signal moves normally.
