P0135
DTC P0135CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the vehicle is first started, the powertrain control module (PCM) operates in an Open Loop mode, ignoring the HO2S signal voltage when calculating the air-to-fuel ratio. The PCM supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. The HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage once the sensor reaches operating temperature. A high HO2S voltage output indicates a rich fuel mixture. A low HO2S voltage output indicates a lean mixture. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature, and to provide an accurate voltage signal. The PCM controls the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit with a low side driver. The HO2S 1 heater diagnostic monitors the current draw through the HO2S 1 low side driver when the engine is running. If the PCM detects that the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit current is not within the calibrated range, DTC P0135 will set.
Each HO2S 1 has the following circuits:
- An HO2S 1 high signal circuit
- An HO2S 110w signal circuit
- An HO2S 1 heater ignition voltage circuit
- An HO2S 1 heater low control circuit
- An HO2S low reference circuit
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- DTCs P0030, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0455, P0496, P1106, P1107, P1111, P1112, P1114, P1115, P2135 are not set.
- DTCs P0136, P0401, and P0420 passed.
- The Engine Run Time parameter is more than 3 minutes.
- The ECT Sensor parameter is more than 65°C (149°F).
- The Engine Speed parameter is between 650-2,500 RPM.
- The MAF Sensor parameter is between 4-30 g/s.
- The system voltage is between 9-18 volts.
- The HO2S Heater Command parameter is not being commanded by a scan tool.
- The above conditions have been met for 7 seconds.
- This diagnostic may run up to 4 tests per trip, and at least 30 seconds between tests.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM detects that the HO2S Heater Current parameter is less than 0.23 A or more than 0.90 A for more than 25 seconds during each test period.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
