Diagnostic procedure

DTC P0133 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED 
  • Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (HO2S related) been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform the repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 VERIFY RELATED PENDING AND STORED DTC 
  • Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (Engine off).
  • Verify the pending or stored DTCs using the WDS or equivalent.
  • Is DTC P0443 also present?
Yes Go to DTC P0443 troubleshooting procedures, then go to Step 14.
No Go to the next step.
4 IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA 
  • Is DTC P0133 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to troubleshooting procedures for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA.
(See DTC TABLE ).
5 VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS 
  • Warm up the engine.
  • Access the O2S11 PID using the WDS or equivalent.
  • Inspect the PID under the following accelerator pedal conditions in NEUTRAL.
  • Is the PID normal?
    • Less than 1 mA when the accelerator pedal is suddenly depressed (rich condition).
    • More than 1 mA just after accelerator pedal is released (lean condition).
Yes Go to Step 8.

Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the fuel delivery pipe, then go to Step 14.
11 INSPECT HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP 
  • Replace the high pressure fuel pump.
  • Monitor FUEL_PRES PID.
  • Is the FUEL_PRES PID value within the specified?

    (See USING THE WDS OR EQUIVALENT ).

Yes Retest Step 14.
No Go to the next step.
12 INSPECT FUEL PRESSURE (LOW-SIDE) 
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge between fuel pump and high pressure fuel pump.

    (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION ).

  • Is the low side fuel pressure within the specification?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect for the following:
  • Fuel line restriction
  • Fuel filter clogging

If normal replace the fuel pump. Then go to Step 14.
