P1134

Circuit Description

The 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

^ No TP sensor, EVAP system, misfire, IAT sensor, MAP sensor, Fuel trim, injector circuit, EGR Pintle Position, MAF sensor, ECT sensor, CKP sensor, or HO2S sensor 1 heater circuit DTCs set.
^ Mass Air Flow is between 10 g/s and 30 g/s.
^ ECT is greater than 50°C (122°F).
^ Engine run time is greater than 60 seconds.
^ Engine speed is between 1000 RPM and 3000 RPM.
^ The engine is running in closed loop.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

^ Above conditions present for a 100 second monitoring period.
^ VIN K - Ratio of average response times is not between 3.5 and 0.5.
^ VIN 1 - Ratio of average response times is not between 6 and 0.5.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

^ The PCM will illuminate the 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 and Fail Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

^ The PCM will turn the MIL OFF during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has been 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 the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

Diagnostic Aids

A malfunction 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

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.

4. 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.
7. Before replacing the HO2S, check for silicon contamination.
