P1134
Electrical Diagram:
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The PCM monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity. 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. The PCM determines the average time for all transitions with this information. The PCM divides the rich to lean average by the lean to rich average to obtain a ratio. The PCM sets a DTC P1134 if the HO2S ratio is not within a predetermined range.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ DTCs P0102, P0103, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0125, P0335, P0336, P0351-P0358, P1120, P1220, P1221, P1258 not set.
^ The fuel system is operating in Closed Loop.
^ The engine run time is greater than 2.9 seconds.
^ The engine speed is greater than 1000 RPM but less than 2300 RPM.
^ The system voltage is greater than 9.0 volts.
^ The engine coolant temperature is greater than 65°C (149°F).
^ The engine air flow is between 15 g/s and 35 g/s.
^ The PCM determines that the HO2S transition time ratio is not at the expected value.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive drive trip, the PCM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns the MIL OFF after three consecutive drive trips that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A History DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission related diagnostic does not report any failures.
^ The PCM battery voltage is interrupted.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL/DTC.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Using the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If the DTC cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can be useful in determining how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also be used to determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
^ An oxygen supply inside the HO2S is necessary for proper operation. This supply of oxygen is provided through the HO2S wires. All HO2S wires and connections should be inspected for breaks or contamination. Refer to Body and Accessories/Diagrams.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms. Testing and Inspection
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if the fault is present. This test may take 5 minutes for the diagnostic to run.
3. When DTCs P1134 and P1154 are set at the same time, is good indication that a fuel contamination condition is present.
4. An exhaust leak 6 to 12 inches away from the HO2S can cause a DTC to set.
6. This step checks whether a good ground circuit is available.
7. This step checks the integrity of the signal circuit to the PCM.
8. Certain RTV silicone gasket materials give off vapors that can contaminate the HO2S. There is also a possibility of silicone contamination caused by silicone in the fuel. If the sensors appear contaminated by silicone and all the silicone sealant is a non-silicone base, advise the customer to try a different fuel company. A missing fuel filler restrictor, indicates the customer may have used leaded fuel.
