P1134

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During the monitor 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 required to complete all the transitions. With this information, an average time for all the 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 the appropriate range, DTC P1134 is set, indicating that the oxygen sensor is not responding as expected to changes in exhaust oxygen content.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0128, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0410, P0440, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, or P1441 are not set.
^ The system voltage is more than 9 volts.
^ The engine is running in Closed Loop.
^ The engine is running for at least 60 seconds.
^ The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is more than 50°C (122°F).
^ The Throttle Position (TP) sensor angle is more than 2 percent.
^ The engine speed is between 1300-3000 RPM.
^ The MAF is between 13-29 gm/s.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The above conditions are present for a 100-second monitoring period.
^ The ratio of average responses is not between 4.2 and 0.4.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
^ The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current DTC "Last Test Failed" clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-2:

Steps 3-12:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. This step tests for conditions which may cause the DTC to set with a good heated oxygen sensor. Correct any described conditions if present.
7. Before replacing the HO2S, inspect for silicon contamination.
