2000 Sonata P1154

Car: 2000 Sonata GLS v6 w/ 55,000 miles

I recently bought this car and the check engine light came on the other
night. The car has been running perfect, and the previous owner took
meticulous care of this car. The car is originally from New Jersey and is
now in Oklahoma.

The only difference I have noticed is that the idle seems to be a slightly
rougher while it is parked. I say little as in there is almost no difference
and none while driving. My understanding is that the code P1154- Bank 2 fuel
control shifted rich is in regards to an O2 sensor located on the front
passenger side of the exhaust manifold, is this correct? Is there anything I
can do to prevent this from tripping again or is this something that tends to
just "go out" as parts do?

When the car is cold, there is a slight high pitch whine from the
transmission, but after you hit 20mph and the car warms up a little it doesnt
do it anymore. Any ideas as what this might be? Any help would be much
appreciated on these questions. Thanks.

 

P1154 reflects a problem with the oxygen sensor you describe. It's been an
ongoing issue with this the particular type oxygen sensors you have in your
car.

Before replacing the oxygen sensor, contact your local dealer and ask them
to check for open recalls (or post your VIN here and I'll do it for you).
You'll be entitled to a free reprogram and/or oxygen sensor replacement if
campaign V01 hasn't been completed on the car.

If the campaign has been completed, you'll be on the hook for the repairs.
The good news is that the oxygen sensor isn't all that expensive.

 

funny because I was quoted 250 cdn for the 02 sensore in my car 2002

Here is the VIN # KMHWF35V5YA304649
Thank-You so much for all of your help,

The recall in question only applies to 1999 to 2002 (and some 2003) Sonatas
with the V6 engine. It doesn't apply to your car because the Accent
doesn't have the same problems that the Sonata does. Similarly, since the
oxygen sensors are different, the pricing will be different as well. If I
recall correctly, the Accent oxygen sensors are over $100 U.S. for the
part.

 

Sorry, Jeff. Bad news. The recall was performed 12/28/04 at 43683 miles.
You also had the 6 year/72k class action settlement warranty, but that
expired in May. You're on the hook for the oxygen sensor.

 

They were making a nice buck on you

You can easily get one for $100 to $120 CDN. A dealer would probably be
$250, a good reason to avoid the dealers for routine service.

I recently paid $100 US + a few bucks labor at a local repair shop for one
on my Buick.

 

Hello
I have the same code on my 1999 Sonata GLS V6. The VIN i
KMHWF35V9XA089842
