O2 Sensor Out of Range During Deceleration Bank 1 Sensor 2
During fuel cutoff on overrun the post-catalyst lambda sensor on bank 1 should drift toward a fixed lean reference voltage. If it stays outside the expected window the ECU sets this fault, indicating either a slow or stuck downstream sensor or an exhaust leak that draws unburnt gas across it.

Possible causes
- Sensor element slow or aged high
- Exhaust leak between catalyst and sensor medium
- Sensor wiring high resistance or chafed low
Symptoms
