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
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.3. A condition that affects other heated oxygen sensors
indicates probable contamination. To avoid
damaging replacement sensors, correct the
condition which caused the contamination before
replacing the affected sensors.
5. This step checks for conditions which may cause the
heated oxygen sensor to appear faulty. Correct any
of the described conditions if present.
8. To avoid damaging replacement sensors, correct the
condition which caused the contamination before
replacing the affected sensors.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P1167 Fuel System Rich During Decel Fuel Cut Off (Bank 1)
060R200054
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously
monitors the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) activity for 90
seconds after ªclosed loopº has been enabled. During the
monitoring period the powertrain control module (PCM)
counts the number of times a rich to lean response is
indicated and adds the amount of time it look to complete
all rich to lean transitions and lean to rich transitions.
This code detects if Bank1 O2 sensor indicated rich
exhaust while in Decel Fuel Cut Off (DFCO) for fuel
control sensors.
Conditions for setting the DTC

No related DTCs.

The engine coolant temperature is more than 60
C
(140
F).

Engine is operating in ªclosed loopº power enrichment
mode for 3 seconds.

While in ªpower enrichmentº mode the oxygen sensor
voltage remains more than 600mV in DFCO.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records only. This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

A history DTC P1167 will clear after 40 consecutive trip
cycles during which the warm up cycles have occurred
without a fault.

DTC P1167 can be cleared using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids

Check for faulty fuel injectors and fuel pump.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P1171 Fuel System Lean During Acceleration
060R200054
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 not turn the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) ªONº.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records only. This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame 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 P1171 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

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

A restricted fuel filter or fuel line, restricted in-tank filter,
or a defective fuel pump may supply adequate
amounts of fuel at idle, but may not be able to supply
enough fuel during heavy acceleration.

Water or alcohol in the fuel may cause low HO2S
voltage during acceleration.

Check for faulty or plugged fuel injector(s).

Check for low fuel.
