P1130 - LACK OF HO2S-11 SWITCH, FUEL TRIM AT LIMIT

Description:  The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is monitored for switching. The test fails when the HO2S does not switch due to circuit or fuel at or exceeding a calibrated limit.
Possible Causes:  Electrical:
  • Short to VPWR in the harness or HO2S
  • Water in the harness connector
  • Open/shorted HO2S circuit
  • Corrosion or poor mating terminals and wiring
  • Damaged HO2S
  • Damaged powertrain control module (PCM)

Fuel System:
  • Excessive fuel pressure
  • Leaking/contaminated fuel injectors
  • Leaking fuel pressure regulator
  • Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel
  • Vapor recovery system

Induction System:
  • Air leaks after the mass air flow (MAF) sensor
  • Vacuum leaks
  • PCV system
  • Improperly seated engine oil dipstick

EGR System:
  • Leaking gasket
  • Stuck EGR valve
  • Leaking diaphragm or EVR

Base Engine:
  • Oil overfill
  • Camshaft timing
  • Cylinder compression
  • Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2S
Diagnostic Aids:  A fuel control HO2S PID switching across 0.45 volt from 0.2 to 0.9 volt indicates a normal switching HO2S.
