Circuit/System Description
Heating elements inside the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature and provide an accurate voltage signal. A low side driver within the engine control module (ECM) is pulse-width controlled to provide current to the heater elements. The ECM will not allow continuous HO2S heating until calibrated limits of time, temperature, and intake airflow have been reached. The ECM continuously monitors the HO2S heater current draw and operating state by briefly turning OFF the heater low side driver at regular intervals. A small reference voltage of approximately 4.9 volts is present at the heater low control circuit. When the low side driver is commanded ON the reference voltage is low. When the low side driver is commanded OFF the reference voltage is high, close to battery voltage. If the ECM detects that the predicted voltage and the detected voltage are different, a DTC sets.

P0135
| • | The ECM detects that the sensor temperature remains below a threshold after a specified time after engine start. |
| • | The condition exists for more than 4 seconds. |
| OR |
| • | The ECM detects that the calculated HO2S temperature is less than a predetermined threshold with 100 percent heater duty cycle. |
| • | The condition exists for more than 4 seconds. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running and setting the DTC. The DTC should not set.
Circuit/System Testing
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HO2S 1.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the HO2S 1 heater voltage supply circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- Ignition ON, measure for approximately 4.9 volts between the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- Engine OFF, install a test lamp between the HO2S 1 voltage supply circuit terminal 4 and the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit terminal 3. Allow the ECM to power down.
- Engine RUNNING, the lamp should be ON steady.
- If the ECM and all circuits test normal, replace the HO2S 1.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the HO2S 1 heater voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the HO2S 1 heater voltage supply circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the fuse and replace as necessary. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If more than the specified value, test the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is not on steady, replace the ECM. |
