Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P1133 HO2S Insufficient Switching Bank 1 Sensor 1
060R200054
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 this test period the PCM counts the
number of times that the HO2S signal voltage crosses the
rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich threshold. If the PCM
determines that the HO2S did not switch enough times,
DTC P1133 will be set.
A lean-to-rich switch is determined when the HO2S
voltage changes above and below 450 mV.
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the amount
of time required for ªclosed loopº fuel control operation
and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring. The oxygen
sensor heater greatly decreases the amount of time
required for fuel control sensors Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank
2 HO2S 1 to become active. Oxygen sensor heaters are
required by post-catalyst monitor sensors to maintain a
sufficiently high temperature for accurate exhaust oxygen
content readings further from the engine.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

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

Engine is operating in ªclosed loopº.

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 (MAF) is between 9 g/second and 42
g/second.

Above conditions are present for 3 seconds.

90 seconds after ªclosed loopº and stoichiometric
operation have been achieved, the PCM monitors the
oxygen sensor as it switches above and below 450 mV.
If fewer than 23 rich-to-lean and lean-to-rich switches
are detected, DTC P1133 will be set.
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

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P1133 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P1133 can be cleared by using Tech 2 ªClear Infoº
function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

P1134 HO2S Transition Time Ratio Bank 1 Sensor 1
060R200054
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 established. During the monitoring 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 P1134 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 (ECT) is above 60
C
(140
F).

Engine is operating in ªclosed loopº,

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 (MAF) is between 18 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 1 HO2S 1
transition ratio between lean-to-rich and rich-to-lean is
less than 0.44 or greater than 3.8.
