P2630

Moderate

O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit Low Bank 2 Sensor 1

What Does P2630 Mean?

The oxygen sensor pumping current trim circuit voltage for Bank 2 Sensor 1 is reading lower than expected range. This indicates insufficient voltage in the wide-band sensor's pumping cell control circuit on the Bank 2 side.

Common Causes

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Verify battery and charging system voltage (12.4V+ key off, 13.5-14.5V running)

2

Step 2: Check for short to ground in Bank 2 pumping current circuit using ohmmeter with sensor disconnected

3

Step 3: Measure O2 sensor pumping cell resistance (typically 2-4 ohms per specifications)

4

Step 4: Inspect sensor heater circuit and verify proper voltage supply to Bank 2 sensor

5

Step 5: Replace sensor if resistance is out of spec; diagnose PCM output circuit if sensor tests good

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $650

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2630 mean?

The oxygen sensor pumping current trim circuit voltage for Bank 2 Sensor 1 is reading lower than expected range. This indicates insufficient voltage in the wide-band sensor's pumping cell control circuit on the Bank 2 side.

What causes P2630?

The most common cause of P2630 (O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit Low Bank 2 Sensor 1) is: Faulty oxygen sensor with shorted or degraded pumping cell

How much does it cost to fix P2630?

Typical repair costs for P2630 range from $200 to $650, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2630?

Vehicle is safe to drive but Bank 2 will run rich, increasing fuel consumption and emissions. May cause spark plug fouling on that bank.

How do I diagnose P2630?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2630 to identify the root cause.
