    Possible causes by suggested order of priority:

    Deteriorated upstream oxygen sensor.
    Deteriorated downstream oxygen sensor.
    Deteriorated Upstream Oxygen Sensor.
    POSSIBLE FAULTS

    The Motronic ECM has internally diagnosed that the switching characteristics of this oxygen sensor have degraded to a point where exhaust emissions will be increased.
    This fault is normally caused by the aging of the sensor in normal operation, however, this effect can be accelerated if the sensor has been contaminated with oil or other surface contamination.
