4.3.3 ELECTRONIC PINION FACTOR
WARNING
The pinion factor must be set for all new trans-
mission control modules. If the pinion factor is not
set or if it is set incorrectly, any speed-related
accessories will not operate or will operate inaccu-
rately. This includes the speedometer, speed con-
trol, rolling door locks, and other devices that are
operated by the powertrain and body control mod-
ules. For instructions on setting the pinion factor,
see the appropriate transmission diagnostic man-
ual or the service manual.

Symptom:
P-0133 1/1 O2S SLOW RESPONSE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-0133 1/1 O2S SLOW RESPONSE
When Monitored: With engine temperature greater than 63 degrees C (147 degrees F),
after reaching vehicle speed of 16 kmh (10 mph), and throttle remaining open (off idle), for
2 minutes bring vehicle to a stop and allow engine to idle with transmission in drive (auto)
or in neutral (manual).
Set Condition: The Oxygen Sensor Signal voltage is switching from below 0.27 volt to
above 0.62 volt and back fewer times than required.
