P1157
DTC P1157
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) produces a voltage that varies between 100-900 mV under normal operating conditions. The engine control module (ECM) produces a bias voltage on the HO2S signal circuit of 420-480 mV. The reference ground for the sensor is provided through the ECM. The ECM monitors the signal voltage to determine if the exhaust is lean or rich. The oxygen sensor voltage is high when the exhaust is rich, and low when the exhaust is lean. The ECM constantly monitors the HO2S signal during the Closed Loop operation. If the ECM detects an HO2S voltage that stays below a specified value during a power enrichment condition, DTC P1137 will set for bank 1 sensor 2, or DTC P1157 will set for bank 2 sensor 2.
DTC DESCRIPTORS

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- DTCs P0036, P0037, P0038, P0056, P0057, P0058, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0128, P0137, P0138, P0139, P0140, P0141, P0157, P0158, P0159, P0160, P0161, P0201-0208, P0300, P0301-0308, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0453, P0454, P0455, P0458, P0459, P0496 are not set.
- The calculated catalytic converter temperature is more than 600°C (1,112°F).
- DTC P1137 or P1157 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The ECM detects that the affected HO2S voltage parameter is less than 700 mV for more than 1.6 seconds during a power enrichment condition.
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.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
