Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1154 HO2S Circuit Transition Time Ratio
Bank 2 Sensor 1
060RW190
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the
heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) activity for 90 seconds
after ªclosed loopº and stoichiometric operation have
been enabled. 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 not within this range,
DTC P1154 will be set, indicating that the oxygen sensor
is not responding as expected to changes in exhaust
oxygen content.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No related DTCs.

Engine coolant temperature (ETC) is above 50
C
(122
F) for automatic transmission; 75
C (167
F) for
manual transmission.

The engine is operating in ªclosed loop.º

The engine has been running at least one minute.

Canister purge duty cycle is greater than 2%.

Engine speed is between 1500 RPM and 3000 RPM.

Mass air flow is between 9 g/second and 42 g/second.
Above conditions are present for a 3-second
monitoring period.

90 seconds after ªclosed loopº and stoichiometric
operation have been enabled, Bank 2 HO2S 1
transition ratio between lean to rich and rich to lean is
less than 0.44 or greater than 3.8.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

ºOpen loopº fuel control will be in effect.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P1154 can be cleared by using Tech 2 ªClear Infoº
function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.
Diagnostic Aids
A multifunction in the HO2S heater ignition feed or ground
circuit may cause a DTC P1154 to set. Check HO2S
heater circuitry for intermittent faults or poor connections.
If connections and wiring are OK and DTC P1154
continues to set, replace the Bank 2 HO2S 1.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often

may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1171 Fuel System Lean During Acceleration
060RW193±1
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) internal circuitry
can identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of
supplying adequate amounts of fuel during heavy
acceleration (power enrichment). The PCM monitors the
voltage of the oxygen sensor during power enrichment.
When a power enrichment mode of operation is
requested during ªclosed loopº operation (by heavy
acceleration), the PCM will provide more fuel to the
engine. Under these conditions the PCM should detect a
ªrichº condition (high oxygen sensor voltage). If this ªrichº
exhaust is not detected at this time, a DTC P1171 will set.
A plugged fuel filter, restricted fuel line, restricted in-tank
filter or defective fuel pump can prevent adequate
amounts of fuel from being supplied during power
enrichment mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No related DTCs.
Engine is operating in ªclosed loop power enrichmentº
mode for 3 seconds.

Engine coolant temperature is above 60
C (140
F).

While in ªpower enrichmentº mode the oxygen sensor
voltage remains below 400 mV for 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first the fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P1171 can be cleared by using Tech 2 ªClear Infoº
function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

or a defective fuel pomp may supply adequate

6E±251 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1508 IAC System Low RPM
T321115
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
idle speed by adjusting the position of the idle air control
(IAC) motor pintle. The IAC is a bi-directional stepper
motor driven by two coils. The PCM applies current to the
IAC coils in steps (counts) to extend the IAC pintle into a
passage in the throttle body to decrease air flow. The
PCM reverses the current to retract the pintle, increasing
air flow. This method allows highly accurate control of idle
speed and quick response to changes in engine load. If
the PCM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the PCM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the IAC counts, DTC P1508 will set,
indicating a problem with the idle control system.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No Tech 2 test is being run.

None of these DTCs are set: TP sensor, VSS, ECT,
EGR, fuel system, MAF, MAP, IAT, canister purge,
injector control or ignition control.

Barometric pressure is above 75 kPa.

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 50
C
(120
F).

Engine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle, based upon coolant temperature.

The engine has been running for at least 125 seconds.

Vehicle speed is less than 1 mph.

Canister purge duty cycle is above 10%.

Ignition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16.7 volts.
The throttle is closed.

Engine speed is lower than desired idle.

All of the above conditions are met for 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P1508 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM or IAC motor ± Inspect
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.

Damaged harness ± Inspect the wiring for damage.

Restricted air intake system ± Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter element,
or foreign objects blocking the air intake system.

Throttle body ± Check for objects blocking the IAC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the IAC
