O2 Sensor Contamination

O2 sensor contamination, caused by silicone in certain fuels or use of improper RTV sealant, may cause a White powdery coating to cover the exterior of the O2 sensor. The false high signal voltage (low oxygen content sensed) produced is interpreted by the ECM as a rich mixture, causing the ECM to set Code 45.
