- After confirming DTC P0134 or P0154, use OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to confirm voltage output of heated oxygen sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) from CURRENT DATA. If voltage output of heated oxygen sensor is less than 0.1 volt, heated oxygen sensor circuit may be open or shorted.
- Read freeze frame data using hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful to determine whether vehicle was running or stopped, engine was warmed up or not, air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at time of malfunction.
- If vehicle runs out of fuel, air-fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0134 or P0154 will be recorded. MIL then illuminates.
