Record by record
4 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.
Symptom
Component named as the cause
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

MIL Illuminated with Fuel Trim and Oxygen Sensor Codes
1Fault
- Leak
- Warning light
- P0101
- P0137 (general documents only)
- P0138 (general documents only)
- P0140 (general documents only)
- P0141
- P0157 (general documents only)
- Customers may comment that the MIL is illuminated.
- Initial diagnosis may show fuel trim and O2 sensor related codes including P0101, P0137, P0138, P0140, P0141, P0157, P0158, P0160 and P0161.
- The listed codes also include P0171, P0174, P0420, P0430, P1174 and P1175.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- These methods find small leaks around the O2 sensor embossments and slight cracks in an intake plenum or gasket.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- If normal SI diagnostics do not lead to a resolution and an intake vacuum leak or exhaust leak is suspected, use the GE-52250 Variable Pressure Leak Detector (preferred), the J-41416 ultrasonic leak tester, or possibly soapy water with low pressure air into the tailpipe to find the leak.
- For an intake leak, introduce the smoke into the brake booster hose or the oil dipstick tube; soapy water can be sprayed near the gasket, seams and all vacuum nipples.
- For an exhaust leak, put the hose with smoke or air into the tailpipe sealed with shop towels, then spray soapy water around seals, seams and bosses.
3Correction
Parts
- No parts are required for this repair.
Caution
- All of these tests are much more effective if the throttle body is covered or sealed.

Diagnostic Tip: Using Smoke Machine and Ultrasonic Detector for Air Leaks
1Fault
- Leak
- Smoke or fire
- P0101
- P0137 (general documents only)
- P0138 (general documents only)
- P0140 (general documents only)
- P0141
- P0157 (general documents only)
- The SES light is on, and initial diagnosis may show fuel trim and/or O2 sensor related codes such as P0171, P0174, P0420 and P0430.
2Finding the cause
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- If normal SI diagnostics do not resolve it and an intake vacuum leak or exhaust leak is suspected, the J41413-200 Evaporative System Tester smoke machine, the J-41416 ultrasonic leak tester, or soapy water with low pressure air into the tailpipe may help find the leak.
- For an intake leak, the smoke can be introduced into the brake booster hose or the oil dipstick tube.
- Soapy water can be sprayed near the gasket and seams and on all vacuum nipples.
- For an exhaust leak, a hose into the tailpipe carrying smoke or air, sealed with shop towels, is effective.
- Then spray soapy water around the seals, seams and bosses.
