P1134

DTC P1134

CIRCUIT 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 slanted, 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 in Closed Loop. 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 calculates a transition time difference for rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich HO2S voltage switches. If the PCM detects that the calculated transition time difference is incorrect, DTC P1134 will set.

The HO2S 1 has the following circuits:
- HO2S 1 high signal
- HO2S 1 low reference
- HO2S 1 heater ignition voltage
- HO2S 1 heater low control
- Low reference loop

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0128, P0201-P0206, P0442. P0443, P0446, P0449, P0455, P0496 are not set.
- The vehicle is not in Park or Neutral.
- The Engine Run Time parameter is at least 60 seconds.
- The Loop Status parameter is closed.
- The TP Sensor parameter is more than 2 percent.
- The MAF Sensor parameter is between 15-29 g/s.
- The Engine Speed parameter is between 1,300-3,000 RPM.
- The ECT Sensor parameter is more than 65°C (149°F).
- The system voltage is between 9-18 volts.
- The above conditions have been met for 1.5 seconds.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM detects that the average transition lime difference exceeds a predetermined amount during a 90 second monitoring 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.

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.
