DTC P0134 [L3]

BME010200100W17

DTC P0134 | Front HO2S circuit no activity detected
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • PCM monitors input voltage from front HO2S when the following conditions are met. If input voltage from does not exceed 0.55 V for 84 s period, PCM determines that sensor circuit is not activated. MONITORING CONDITIONS

  - HO2S, HO2S heater and TWC repair verification drive mode
  - Following conditions are met

  • Engine speed is above 1,500 rpm.
  • Engine coolant temperature is above 80 °C {176 °F}.

Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• MIL illuminates if PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Front HO2S deterioration • Front HO2S heater malfunction • Leakage exhaust system • Open or short to ground circuit between front HO2S terminal A and PCM terminal 1AB • Insufficient compression
• Engine malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE • Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE. (See DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is same DTC present? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING procedure. (See INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING [L3].)
2 | VERIFY RELATED PENDING AND STORED DTCS

  Note

  • If fuel monitor DTC, DTC P0131or P0132 is retrieved, ignore it until P0134 is fixed.

• Turn ignition key to OFF, then ON (Engine OFF).
• Verify pending and stored DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
• Is any other DTC present?
Yes
Go to appropriate DTC troubleshooting procedures.
No | Go to next step.
3 | IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA • Is DTC P0134 on FREEZE FRAME DATA? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Go to troubleshooting procedures for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA. (See DTC TABLE [L3].)
4 | VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS • Warm up engine. • Access O2S11 for P0134 PID using WDS or equivalent. • Verify PID while racing engine (in NEUTRAL). • Is PID reading okay?

- More than 0.55 V when accelerator pedal is suddenly depressed (rich condition).

- Less than 0.55 V just after release of accelerator pedal (lean condition)

Yes
Go to step 7.
No | Go to next step.
5 | INSPECT INSTALLATION OF FRONT HO2S • Inspect if front HO2S is loosely installed. • Is sensor installed securely? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Install sensor securely, then go to Step 9.
6 | INSPECT GAS LEAKAGE FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM • Visually check if any gas leakage is found between exhaust manifold and front HO2S. • Is there any gas leakage? | Yes | Repair or replace any faulty exhaust parts, then go to Step 9.
No | • Inspect the following harnesses for open or short to ground circuit, repair or replace harness if necessary

  - Front HO2S terminal A (harness-side) to PCM terminal 1AB (harness-side)

  • Repair or replace harness if necessary.

• If all items above are okay, replace faulty sensor.
Then go to Step 9.
7 | INSPECT SEALING OF ENGINE COOLANT PASSAGE

  Warning

  • Removing radiator cap when radiator is hot is dangerous. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury.
  • When removing radiator cap, wrap a thick cloth around and turn it slowly.

• Remove radiator cap.
• Implement procedure to bleed air from engine coolant, then run engine at idle.
• Are there any small bubbles, which makes engine coolant white at filler opening?

  Note

  • Large bubbles are normal since they are due to remaining air being released from engine coolant passage.

Yes
Air gets in due to poor sealing of head gasket or other areas between combustion chamber and engine coolant passage.
Repair or replace faulty parts, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to next step.
8 | INSPECT ENGINE COMPRESSION • Inspect engine compression. (See COMPRESSION INSPECTION [L3].) • Is compression okay? | Yes | Go to next step.
No | Implement engine overhaul for repairs, then go to next step.
9 | VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0134 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Turn ignition key to ON (Engine OFF). • Clear DTC from memory using WDS or equivalent. • Perform KOER self-test.
(See KOEO/KOER SELF-TEST PROCEDURE [L3].)
• Is same DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3].)
No | Go to next step.
10 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is there any DTC present? | Yes | Go to applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [L3].)
No | Troubleshooting completed.
