DTC DESCRIPTION P0133 - O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

Description:  The PCM monitors oxygen sensor response time by commanding a calibrated fuel control routine.

This DTC sets when the oxygen sensor signal does not reach the predicted amplitude within a predetermined response time.
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Incorrect fueling
  • Mass airflow (MAF) sensor (if equipped)
  • Intake air leaks
