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

NOTE:
  • 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.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
  4. Test-drive under these conditions:
    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
    • CVT in D, M/T in 3rd or 4th
    • Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less for 5 minutes, then drive at a steady speed of 32 mph (52 km/h) or more with the engine speed between 1, 250-3, 000 RPM
  5. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0133 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    Does the HDS indicate FAILED? 

    YES  -Go to step  6.

    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 ECM/PCM. If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step  3 and recheck.

  6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  7. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see A/F SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
  8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  9. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  10. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
  11. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
  12. Test-drive under these conditions:
    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
    • CVT in D, M/T in 3rd or 4th
    • Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or less for 5 minutes, then drive at a steady speed of 32 mph (52 km/h) or more with the engine speed between 1, 250-3, 000 RPM
  13. Check for Pending or Confirmed 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.

  14. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0133 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    Does the HDS indicate PASSED? 

    YES  -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step  13, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .

    NO  -If the HDS 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 HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step  11.
