Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
PCM reads Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During this period, PCM counts the number of Lean/Rich (L/R) and Rich/Lean (R/L) switches.
With this information, an average time for all transitions can be determined. PCM then divides R/L average by L/R rich average to obtain a ratio. If HO2S ratio is not within range, DTC P1134 will set.
Conditions for setting DTC:
- No ECT, IAT, MAF, MAP, or TP sensor DTCs set.
- No fuel trim, injector or HO2S 1 heater circuit DTCs set.
- No EGR or EVAP system DTCs set.
- Engine speed 1000-3000 RPM.
- Engine operating in closed loop mode.
- Conditions present during 100 second monitoring period.
- Ratio of average response times not 0.4-5.0.
