P2631O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
How the car detects it
P2631 flags a trim value above the valid window for the first wide-band probe on bank 2. Ford assigns it to NTK probe installations: the interface chip notices the resistor line pulled up to battery voltage, as from a chafed wire touching a powered circuit. GM's 2005 table for the 3.5 L V6 of Honda origin uses the mirror logic, with the bank 2 label resistor voltage below 0.29 V for 5 s. CARB requires front air-fuel ratio sensors to be checked for wiring defects and for readings beyond their valid span that would disable closed-loop fuelling, which is what such a reading does. A harness short can also hit other circuits in the same loom, so check for neighbouring codes first. Bank 1 high is P2628; P2630 is the low fault and P2629 the open fault on this probe.
What you may notice
  • Check engine light
  • Lambda control on bank 2 disabled
  • Possibly additional circuit codes from the same harness
Likely causes
  • LikelyBank 2 resistor line shorted to a powered wire in the harness
  • PossibleBank 2 front probe with internal short
  • RareNon-matching replacement probe or repaired connector without the original resistor
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
