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 in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the ECM operates in open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperatures and Closed Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

This diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle. The ECM monitors the rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich transitions. A transition is defined as the HO2S voltage changes from above 600 mV to below 300 mV or from below 300 mV to above 600 mV. If the ECM detects that the transition time ratio is not within a specified range, DTC P1134 will set.

DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1134 HO2S Transition Time Ratio Sensor 1

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- DTCs P0037, P0038, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0130, P0133, P0137, P0138, P0140, P0171, P0172, P0300, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0455, P0500, P0601, P0602, P0606, P0641, P0722, P0723, P1133 are not set.
- The Engine Speed parameter is between 1,500-3,200 RPM.
- The Loop Status parameter is closed.
- The Air Flow parameter is between 7-25 g/s.
- DTC P1134 runs once per drive cycle when the above conditions are met for 100 seconds.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The ECM detects that the HO2S 1 Transition Time Ratio is less than 0.375 or more than 2.375.
- DTC P1134 sets within 60 seconds when the above condition is met.

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.
