Circuit/System Description
The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the engine is started, the control module operates in an
Open Loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air-to-fuel ratio. The control module supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias voltage of about 450 mV. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage
within a range of 0-1,000 mV. This voltage will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage. Once sufficient HO2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, Closed Loop is entered. The control module uses the HO2S voltage to determine
the air-to-fuel ratio. An HO2S voltage that increases above bias voltage toward 1,000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases below bias voltage toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.
The heating elements inside each HO2S heat the sensor to bring the sensor up to operating conditions faster. This allows the system to enter Closed Loop earlier and the control module to calculate the air-to-fuel ratio sooner.
The HO2S utilizes the following circuits:
| • | A low reference circuit |
| • | An ignition 1 voltage circuit |
| • | A heater control circuit |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0106, P0107, P0108, P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0300, P0336, P0337, P0351, P0352, P0402, P0404, P0405, P0406, P0443, P0506, P0507, P1167, P1171, and P1404 are not set. |
| • | The calculated airflow into the engine is between 8-30 g/s. |
| • | The engine speed is between 1,500-3,000 RPM. |
| • | The engine coolant temperature is greater than 70°C (158°F). |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts. |
| • | The fuel system is in closed loop. |
| • | The engine has been operating for 60 seconds. |
| • | The evaporative emission (EVAP) purge is less than 20 percent. |
| • | The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met for 2 seconds. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine control module (ECM) detects that the HO2S 1 rich-to-lean average response time is greater than 90 milliseconds or lean-to-rich average response time is greater than 125 milliseconds.
Action Taken when the DTC Sets
DTCs P0133, P1133, and P1134 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTCs P0133, P1133, and P1134 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
- Verify that other DTCs are not set.
- DTCs P0133, P1133, and P1134 should not set. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification Test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured
in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records List.
Circuit/System Testing
- Verify that none of the following conditions exist:
| • | Water intrusion in the HO2S harness connector |
| • | HO2S wiring harness damage |
| • | Fuel saturation of the EVAP canister |
| • | Exhaust leaks near the HO2S |
| ⇒ | If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary. |
- If all conditions test normal, replace the HO2S 1.
