    P0133 A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Malfunction/Slow Response  

    Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

    YES 

    Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) .

    NO 

    If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot . If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-3 on this step and recheck.
