Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During the monitor period the PCM counts the number of times that the HO2S responds from rich to lean and from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took to complete all transitions. With this information, an average time for all transitions can be determined. The PCM then divides the rich to lean average by the lean to rich average to obtain a ratio. If the HO2S transition time ratio is not within range, DTC P1134 will be set, indicating that the oxygen sensor is not responding as expected to changes in exhaust oxygen content.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | None of the following DTCs are set: |
| - | Throttle position (TP) sensor |
| - | Evaporative emissions (EVAP) system |
| - | Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor |
| - | Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor |
| - | Fuel trim |
| - | Fuel injector circuit |
| - | EGR pintle position |
| - | Mass air flow (MAF) sensor |
| - | Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor |
| - | Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor |
| - | Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 heater circuit |
| • | The mass air flow is between 10 g/s and 30 g/s. |
| • | The ECT is more than 50°C (122°F). |
| • | The engine run time is more than 60 seconds. |
| • | The engine speed is between 1000 and 3000 RPM. |
| • | The engine is running in Closed Loop. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ratio of average response times is not between 4.5 and 0.5 (VIN K). |
| • | The ratio of average response times is not between 6 and 0.3 (VIN 1). |
| • | The above conditions are present for a 100 second monitoring period. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed. |
| • | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM will turn OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and passed. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
| • | The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
A poor connection in the HO2S heater ignition feed or ground circuit may cause the DTC to set. Check HO2S heater circuitry for intermittent malfunctions or poor connections. If connections and wiring are OK and the DTC continues to set, replace the HO2S 1.
Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step checks for conditions which may cause the DTC to set with a good heated oxygen sensor. Correct any of the described conditions if present.
-
Before replacing the HO2S, check for silicon contamination.
