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:

Euro III Emissions

The engine control module (ECM) detects that the HO2S 1 rich-to-lean average response time is greater than 216 milliseconds or lean-to-rich average response time is greater than 211 milliseconds.

Euro IV Emissions

The ECM detects that the HO2S 1 rich-to-lean average response time is greater than 78 milliseconds or lean-to-rich average response time is greater than 94 milliseconds.

1. Verify that other DTCs are not set.

⇒	If any DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

2. DTC P1133 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.

1. Verify that none of the following conditions exist:

•	Lean or rich fuel injectors--Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool .

•	Water intrusion in the HO2S harness connector

•	HO2S wiring harness damage

•	Incorrect RTV sealant

•	Low or high fuel system pressure--Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis .

•	Fuel that is contaminated--Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis .

•	Fuel saturation of the EVAP canister

•	Exhaust leaks near the HO2S

•	Engine vacuum leaks

•	Engine oil consumption

•	Engine coolant consumption--Refer to Loss of Coolant .

⇒	If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.

2. If all conditions test normal, replace the HO2S 1.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
