  43. 73) Check HO2S Circuit For Short To VPWR

    Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect PCM connector(s). Inspect connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. Disconnect suspect HO2S connector. Disconnect scan tool from DLC. For DTCs P1130 and P1132, measure resistance between PCM connector terminals No. 60 and 71. For DTCs P1150 and P1152, measure resistance between PCM connector terminals No. 87 and 71. If both resistance readings are more than 10 k/ohms, reconnect PCM connector and go to next step. If any resistance reading is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to power.
  44. 74) Check HO2S Signal

    Ensure suspect HO2S is disconnected. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using scan tool, select HO2S PID for DTC generated. If PID voltage is less than .2 volt, replace HO2S. If PID voltage is .2 volt or more, replace PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. Program PCM. See FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BLOCK PROCEDURE .
  45. 75) Attempt To Generate DTC P1131 & P1151

    Connect a jumper wire between HO2S SIGNAL terminal at HO2S harness connector and negative battery terminal. Perform KOER on-demand self-test. See KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST  under QUICK TEST. If DTC P1131 or P1151 is present, remove jumper wire and go to next step. If DTC P1131 or P1151 is not present, check PCM connector terminals and repair as necessary. If PCM connector is okay, replace PCM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. Program PCM. See FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BLOCK PROCEDURE .
  46. 76) HO2S Voltage Check

    Connect DVOM between HO2S SIGNAL terminal and SIG RTN terminal at HO2S harness connector. Disconnect any vacuum hose from vacuum tree. Start engine and operate at 2000 RPM. If DVOM voltage is less than .4 volt within 30 seconds, reconnect vacuum hose and all connectors, and go to next step. If DVOM voltage is not less than .4 volt, replace HO2S.
  47. NOTE: HO2S PID may be displayed on scan tool as O2S.

  48. 77) Monitor HO2S PID
    Start engine and allow to idle. Using scan tool, select HO2S PID for suspect HO2S. Observe PID voltage while wiggling and bending wiring harness between HO2S and PCM. If PID voltage stays high (more than .45 volt) or stays low (less than .45 volt), isolate cause of lack of HO2S switches. Repair as necessary. If PID voltage switches, go to next step.
  49. 78) Monitor HO2S PID During Test Drive

    Leave scan tool connected to DLC. Using an assistant, test drive vehicle under various conditions while observing HO2S PID voltage. If PID voltage switches from about .4 to .6 volt, system is okay and testing is complete. If voltage does not switch from about .4 to .6 volt, replace HO2S.
    NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 78) to step 90). No test procedures have been omitted.
  50. 90) KOER DTC P0127

    DTC P1127 indicates that downstream HO2S heaters were not cycled on during KOER self-test due to exhaust temperatures falling below a minimum calibrated value. Possible causes are:
    • Engine Not At Operating Temperature
    • Exhaust System Too Cool

    Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using scan tool, access all HO2S HTR PIDs from PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. If all HO2S HTR PIDs switch or indicate ON, perform KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST . If any HO2S HTR PIDs do not switch or indicate OFF, operate engine until all HO2S HTR PIDs switch or indicate ON. Repeat KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST .

    NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 90) to step 100). No test procedures have been omitted.
  51. 100) KOER P1128 & P1129

    These DTCs indicate that during KOER self-test, one or both HO2S signals were crossed from bank to bank. DTC P1128 refers to HO2S-11 or HO2S-21 in front of converter. DTC P1129 refers to HO2S-12 or HO2S-22 behind converter. Possible causes for these faults are:
    • Crossed HO2S Connectors
    • Crossed HO2S Wiring At HO2S Connector
    • Crossed HO2S Wiring At PCM Connector

    Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect suspect HO2S harness connector. Inspect connector for indication of crossed wires or incorrect installation. Repair as necessary. If no faults are found, go to next step.

  52. 101) Verify Proper HO2S SIG Terminal Location

    Disconnect PCM connector. Inspect connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. Disconnect both suspect HO2S harness connectors. HO2S DTC identification is as follows:
    • DTC P1128 is for upstream HO2S-11 and HO2S-21.
    • DTC P1129 is for downstream HO2S-12 and HO2S-22.

    Refer to illustrations for HO2S identification. See Figure and Figure . Using a DVOM, measure resistance of HO2S SIG circuit between suspect HO2S harness connector and appropriate PCM harness connector terminal. See CNG HO2S PCM TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION . See Figure, Figure and Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, fault is intermittent and cannot be duplicated at this time. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, HO2S wiring is crossed. Recheck all HO2S wiring terminal locations at PCM and HO2S connectors. Repair as necessary.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
