What does the error code P0059 mean in the Opel Astra?
Years 2004-2010

Answer

If the engine fault warning light comes on and through the diagnosis we detect the P0059 error in the engine control unit, we have a problem on the lambda probe heater. The lambda probe is located in the exhaust line and serves to maintain optimum engine carburation by measuring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. The optimal operating temperature is between 300Â ° and 600Â °. Inside we find a resistance to heat the probe, when the engine is not at the operating temperature.
