DTC P0133: A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Response Malfunction/Slow Response
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
- If DTC P0139 is stored at the same time as DTC P0133, troubleshoot DTC P0139 first, then recheck for DTC P0133.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- A/T in D position (M/T in 3rd or 4th gear)
- Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less for 5 minutes, then drive at a steady speed between 26-81 mph (41-130 km/h).
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0133 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate FAILED?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - If the screen 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 ECM/PCM. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 3 and recheck.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see A/F SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- A/T in D position (M/T in 3rd or 4th gear)
- Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less for 5 minutes, then drive at a steady speed between 26-81 mph (41-130 km/h).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0133 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 14.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0133 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 13, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 11.
