DTC P1195: 1/1 O2 Sensor Slow During Catalyst Monitor: Description
1/1 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) catalyst monitor is monitored with engine running, coolant temperature more than 170°F (76.7°C), open throttle, vehicle speed steadily increased to more than 18 MPH but less than 55 MPH, and light engine load exists for at least 5 minutes. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses 1/1 HO2S is switching from less than .39 volt to more than .6 volt fewer times than required. Possible causes for DTC to set are: oil or coolant consumption, defective 1/1 HO2S, defective connector or defective wiring.
