CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During this test period the PCM counts the number of times that the HO2S signal voltage crosses the rich to lean and lean to rich thresholds. If the PCM determines that the HO2S did not switch enough times, DTC P1133 will be set.

A lean to rich switch is determined when the HO2S voltage changes from less than 300 mV to more than 600 mV. A rich to lean switch is determined when the HO2S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ There are no active MAF, TP, IAT, MAP. ECT, AIR Sensor, Injector Circuit, EVAP, or HO2S Heater DTCs.
^ The mass air flow is between 10-30 g/s.
^ The ECT is more than 50°C (122°F).
^ The engine speed is between 1000-3000 RPM.
^ The vehicle is not in Park or Neutral.
^ The ignition voltage is between 9.0-18.0 volts.
^ The air pump is commanded OFF.
^ The above conditions are present for a 100-second monitoring period after Closed Loop.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The PCM monitors fewer than 65 rich to lean and 50 lean to rich switches for HO2S 1.
^ The condition is present for a 100 second monitoring period.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (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 Failure Records data.
^ If the misfire is determined to be catalyst damaging, the PCM will flash the MIL.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM will turn OFF the MIL 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 a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
A malfunction in the HO2S heater ignition feed or ground circuit may cause a DTC P1133 to set. Inspect the HO2S heater circuitry for intermittent faults or faulty connections, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagrams. If connections and wiring are OK and DTC P1133 continues to set, replace the HO2S 1.

IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the connector surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.

^ Faulty terminal connections - Inspect the harness connectors for the following conditions:
- Backed-out terminals
- Improper mating
- Broken locks
- Improperly formed or damaged terminals
- Faulty terminal-to-wire connection - Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Diagrams.
^ A damaged harness - Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
If the harness inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Diagrams.
^ Clean and secure the connections at the PCM and the engine grounds.

If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Failure Records can be useful in determining when the DTC was last set.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
2. When the system is operating correctly the HO2S voltage should toggle above and below the specified values.
5. If the low circuit is shorted to ground the HO2S voltage will be less than 400 mV when the signal circuit is jumped to ground.
6. The specified value is what is measured on a correctly operating system.
7. The specified value is what is measured on a correctly operating system.
14. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced, the new PCM must be programmed.
