4. Tesla P0155 Frequently Asked Questions
What does code P0155 mean on a Tesla?
On Tesla vehicles, P0155 indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) detected o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 2 sensor 1). This typically points to Burnt-out heating element inside the Bank 2 Sensor 1 O2 sensor or Blown O2 heater fuse in under-hood fuse block.
Can I continue driving my Tesla with code P0155?
Yes. The sensor will take longer to warm up, causing brief open-loop fuel delay on cold starts. Because this code carries a Medium severity rating on Tesla powertrains, we recommend scanning live data values promptly to prevent secondary damage.
How much does it cost to fix code P0155 on a Tesla?
Estimated DIY parts cost ranges from $120 - $350 (DIY: $45 - $120), while professional shop repairs at an authorized Tesla dealership or independent specialist typically range from $180 to $380 including diagnostic labor.
