DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1133
FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S1) TOO FEW
TRANSITION
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors
the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) activity for 100
seconds. During the monitor period, the ECM counts the
number of times that the HO2S1 switches from rich to lean
and from lean to rich. With this information, a total for all
switches can be determined. If the number of switches is
too low, a Diagnostic Trouble code (DTC) P1133 will set.
The lean–to–rich and rich–to–lean are less than 15
switches.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S HO2S1 signal switches from 0.3 to 0.6 volts and
0.6 to 0.3 volts is less than 15 times within 90sec-
onds.
S Closed loop stoichiometry.
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is greater than
70 °C (158 °F).
S System voltage is greater than 10 volts.

Diagnostic Aids
DTC P1133 is most likely caused by one of the following
items:
S Fuel Pressure – The system will go rich if the fuel
pressure is too high. The ECM can compensate for
some increase. However, if it gets too high, a DTC
P1133 may set. Refer to ”Fuel System Diagnosis”
in this section.
S Leaking injector – A leaking or malfunctioning injec-
tor can cause the system to go rich.
S Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor – An
output that causes the ECM to sense a higher than
normal manifold pressure (low vacuum) can cause
the system to go rich. Disconnecting the MAP sen-
sor will allow the ECM to set a fixed value for the
MAP sensor. Substitute a different MAP sensor if
the rich condition is gone while the sensor is dis-
connected.
S Pressure regulator – Check for a leaking fuel pres-
sure regulator diaphragm by checking for the pres-
ence of liquid fuel in the vacuum line to the pres-
sure regulator.
S Throttle Position (TP) sensor – An intermittent TP
sensor output can cause the system to go rich due
to a false indication of the engine accelerating.S HO2S1 contamination – Inspect the HO2S1 for sili-
cone contamination from fuel or improper use of
Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. The
sensor may have a white powdery coating and re-
sult in a high but false voltage signal (rich exhaust
indication). The ECM will then reduce the amount
of fuel delivered to the engine causing a severe
surge or driveability problem.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Chart.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
14. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed.
Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM re-
programming.
16. If no malfunctions have been found at this point and
no additional DTCs are set, refer to ”Diagnostic

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1134
FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S1)
TRANSITION RATIO
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the Front
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) activity for 100 seconds
after closed loop and stoichiometric operation have been
established. During the monitoring period the ECM counts
the number of times that the HO2S1 responds from rich
to lean 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 ECM then divides the
–to–lean average by the lean–to–rich average to obtain
the ratio. If the HO2S1 transition time ratio is not within the
range, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1134 will be set,
indicating that the HO2S1 is not responding as expected
to changes in exhaust oxygen content.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S HO2S1 rich–to–lean and lean–to rich transition ratio
is out of specification(between 0.375 and 3.5).
S Closed Loop stoichiometry.

Diagnostic Aids
A malfunction in the HO2S1 ignition feed or ground circuit
may cause a DTC P1134 to set. Check HO2S1 circuitry for
intermittent faults or poor connections. If connections and
wiring are OK and DTC P1134 continues to set, replace
the HO2S1.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how open
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 Diag-
nostic Chart.
3. A condition that affects pre–converter and post–
converter oxygen sensors indicates probable con-
tamination. To avoid damaging replacement sen-
sors, correct the condition which caused the
contamination before replacing the affected sen-
sors.
5. This step checks for conditions which may cause
the oxygen sensor to appear faulty. Correct any of
the described conditions if present.

fore replacing the affected sensors

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1167
FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S1) RICH IN
DECEL FUEL CUTOFF (DFCO)
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a voltage of
about 0.45 volts between terminals M12 and M29 (if mea-
sured with a 10 megohm digital voltmeter, this may read
as low as 0.32 volts). The Front Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S1) varies the voltage within a range of about 1 volt
if the exhaust is rich, down through about 0.10 volts if the
exhaust is lean.
In internal circuitry of the Engine control Module (ECM)
can identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of cutoff
amount of the fuel supply during deceleration. When a De-
cel Fuel Cutoff (DFCO) mode of operation is requested
during Closed Loop operation, the ECM will cutoff the fuel
supply to the engine. Under these conditions the ECM
should detect a lean condition. If the ECM detect a rich
condition at this time, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P1167 will set. Damaged fuel pressure regulator and faulty
injector will be the cause of this DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S HO2S1 voltage is greater than 0.55 volts in Decel
Fuel Cutoff (DFCO) mode.
S System voltage is greater than 10 volts.S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is greater than
