P2243 — O2 Sensor Reference Voltage Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
The reference voltage line that powers the wide-band sensor cell on bank 1 sensor 1 is missing or out of tolerance. Without correct reference, the AFR calculation is invalid.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
