asked by on February 18, 2016

The Engine light is coming on in my car. I scanned it and got code P0135.

Oxygen Sensor Replacement $123.80 - $932.74 Get a Quote

Hello. A P0135 code indicates that there is a malfunction of the oxygen sensor/heat circuit. This problem could cause the car to burn more gas and over time, cause damage to the catalytic converter. When the oxygen sensor is replaced the engine light should go off. This should be done by a certified technician.
