So, I got the P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox recently. It was throwing a lambda sensor circuit low voltage fault. My buddy thought it was the battery but it wasn’t. Had to check the wiring first, saw some wires were a bit frayed. Replaced them and still the same.
Then I swapped the sensor 'cause it was cheap. Sensor was the culprit. Turns out it had some crud inside, that’s why the reading was off. Found it on some forum talking about how crud buildup messes with things. How often do you guys change the sensor?
And not just anyone can tell you need a new one, you need to test it. Think you have one of them OBD2 readers? Can you test it or you just guess? I’m waiting to see if it holds up now.
I remember dealing with a P0138 code in my Chevy Equinox up here in Canada. It was nuts—turns out, I had a dodgy O2 sensor. Had me checking wires and such. Thought it was something big, but just needed some bad solder cleaned up. It saved me a ton of hassle and dough, folks! So, double-check those sensors if you ever see that code.
I had a crazy experience in Toronto with my Chevy Equinox. It threw me the P0138 code, which was totally bugging out. Ended up being my oxygen sensor acting up. Gotta get those checked real quick; else your engine runs rough and gas mileage takes a nosedive. Share if you’ve got similar tales!
I’ve got a '98 Equinox in Seattle and got a P0138 code last winter. Figured it was the oxygen sensor, swapped it, and bam! That fixed it. It might be something quick to check. Mine was all plastic wrapped, not fancy! Just gotta watch for leaks around that bad boy. Hasta la vista, code!
In Toronto, I noticed my Chevy Equinox had a P0138 code due I’ve mistfueld O2 sensor. I’ve swapped it with a new one plugged back in, now runs smooth. Frustrating but hey, it’s fixed. Common issue, it seems!
In Toronto, I had the P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox. It was a headache, dude. Turned out, my oxygen sensor was shot – probably from running too much cheap gas. Plus, the wiring had some wear and tear. Had to fix both to clear the code. Always double-check those sensors, everyone! Got me thinking about regular maintenance, for sure.
In Toronto, I had a P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox. Engine was acting up like crazy. Turns out, a faulty air flow sensor was messing with the fuel mix. So annoying! Replaced it and she’s running smooth again, thank God! Budget for these repairs ain’t small. Thought about DIY, but decided against risking it. Always best to get the pros in.
Hey, I’ve got a P0138 code drama in my '18 Equinox here in Texas. Man, thought it was the sensor itself, but turned out it was a loose wiring harness! Lesson learned: always double-check connections before buying new parts! Anybody else had this issue?
So, I had this P0138 code pop up on my Chevy Equinox in Toronto last summer. Basically, it’s messin’ with the O2 sensor—probably gunked up from all these long commutes. The mechanic mentioned it might be a faulty sensor or some wiring issue. Anyone else dealt with this headache before? Guess it’s time for a check-up!
In Seattle, I had this annoying P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox. Turns out, it was a sketchy O2 sensor that kept dying on me. Checked it and bam, just had to replace it—total lifesaver. Anyone else had similar oopsies?
I’ve got this P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox in Toronto, no joke. Got it checked and apparently, it’s something with the O2 sensor! Had a friend swear it was just muck from winter on the engine. Keep your car clean, folks!
I’ve been in Detroit when my '17 Chevy Equinox threw the P0138 code. So annoying, right? Found out it was a bad O2 sensor on the bank 2 – these things can mess with the fuel efficiency big time! Barely noticed anything before the check engine lit up like a Christmas tree. Isn’t it wild how small parts can cause such a headache? Had to grind the cash outta me though, but now it’s smooth like butter. Y’all ever had a similar pain?
I had a buddy in Toronto who got this annoying P0138 code on his Chevy Equinox. Turned out the O2 sensor near the cat converter was playing up. So annoying when your car acts up, right? Changed it, and he was back on the road like nothing happened. Bet it’s the same drama for anyone with this trouble, huh? Good luck to ya if you’re dealing with it!
So, I had this annoying P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox right here in Toronto. Figured out it was the upstream O2 sensor acting up. I had to replace it, and bam, took care of it. Remember, this truck ain’t cheap to fix, especially when you trip over the sensor problem. It’s a pain, but better to get ahead of it. I’ve learned to check those sensors regularly, trust me.
Man, I had the P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox while living in Birmingham, Alabama. Drove like a snail and had to buy an O2 sensor at the shop. I’ve heard it’s usually the upstream sensor from too many cold starts in the winter nights or bad wiring. Prob’ly also a clogged catalytic converter from burning cheap gas! Got it sorted out but man, it was a headache for sure.
In Alberta, my Chevy Equinox kept throwing up the P0138 code. Was wild! I figured it was somethin’ to do with the oxygen sensor on bank 1, sensor 1 after a buddy suggested cleanin’ it. That did the trick for a bit, but turns out, the wiring harness was frayed. So wiring issue was the heart of it all. Not fun, but glad it’s fixed! Anyone else dealt with this?
I’ve got this busted P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox here in Canada, and it’s driving me nuts. I’ve tried everything from cleaning the MAF sensor to tinkering with the wiring. So alienating too, always thinking I’ve fixed it only to get the check engine light back. Anyone else battle it often too? Any clever hacks or fixes?
In my neck of the woods in Michigan, I’ve seen a bunch of Chevy Equinoxes throw up that P0138 code. Usually, it’s the MAF sensor acting up or a dodgy wiring issue. I had to swap out the sensor on mine because it just kept giving me grief after a cheap modification. It’s always something with these cars, right? Even with a cover, things get wonky. Great to see others nodding along with similar fix-it stories!
I’ve had the P0138 code on my Chevy Equinox here in Toronto, and it was driving me nuts. Ended up being a messed up oxygen sensor—apparently my dude’s habit of slipping into potholes didn’t help. Replaced it myself after a bit of research and the car’s running smooth again. Good thing cause warranty didn’t cover it. You’d think it’s small stuff but trust me, fixing it saved me a ton of hassle and cash. Just makes me appreciate my DIY skills more!
Back in Canada, I had my '02 Chevy Equinox throw up that pesky P0138 code. Cause was wild - turned out dirty air filter jammed the sensor. Had to swap 'em both. With all the crud we get, it happens. Got more to do with maintenance than spaceship tech. Take care of the little things, and you’ll save cash down the road big time.
