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 riot 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
^ System voltage between 9.0 and 18.0 volts.
^ No active MAF, TP, IAT, MAP, ECT sensor, injector circuit, EVAP, AIR, or HO2S heater DTCs.
^ Mass Air Flow is between 10 and 30 g/s.
^ ECT is greater than 50°C (122°F).
^ Engine speed is between 1000 and 3000 RPM.
^ Above conditions present for a 100 second monitoring period after closed loop.
^ AIR pump commanded OFF.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ HO2S 1 transition time ratio is less than 0.3 or greater than 3.
^ The conditions 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 has been run and failed.
^ If equipped with traction control, the PCM will command the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) via the serial data circuit to turn OFF traction control, and the EBTCM will illuminate the TRACTION OFF lamp.
^ The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data.

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 P1134 to set. Check HO2S heater circuitry for intermittent faults or poor connections If connections and wiring are OK and DTC P1134 continues to set, replace the HO2S 1. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (HO2S 1) or Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (HO2S2).

Inspect for the following:

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.

^ Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Diagrams for diagnosis and repair.
^ 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 Diagrams for diagnosis and repair.
^ Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for clean and secure connections.

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.
