P0132

Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias voltage Of about 450 mV between the 1102S signal and low circuits. When measured with a 10 megohm digital voltmeter, this may display as low as 320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean. The PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal during closed loop operation and compensates for a rich or lean condition by decreasing or increasing the injector pulse width as necessary. If the HO2S 1 voltage remains excessively high for an extended period of time, DTC P0132 is set.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ None of the following active DTC(s) are present:
- Throttle position (TP) sensor DTCs
- Evaporative emissions (EVAP) DTCs
- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor DTCs
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor DTCs
- Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pintle position DTCs
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor DTCs
- Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor DTCs
- Mass air flow (MAF) sensor DTCs
- Misfire DTCs
- Fuel trim DTCs
- Fuel injector circuit DTCs
^ The system voltage is more than 9 volts.
^ The closed loop commanded air/fuel ratio is between 14.5 and 14.8.
^ The Throttle angle is between 3% and 40%.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 975 mV during normal closed loop operation.
OR
^ The HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 200 mV during deceleration fuel mode operation.
^ Either condition is present for up to 50 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has run and failed.
^ The PCM stores the conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Fail Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns the MIL off during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and passed.
^ The history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
^ The DTC may be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect or test the following items:
^ Test the fuel pressure. The system runs rich if the pressure is too high. The PCM may compensate for some increase. However, if the fuel pressure is too high, DTC P0132 may be set.
Refer to Fuel System Pressure Test Fuel System Pressure Test
^ Test the fuel injectors. Refer to Fuel Inj Coil Test - ECT Between 10-35 Degrees C or Fuel Inj Coil Test - ECT Outside 10-35 Degrees C. Component Tests and General Diagnostics Component Tests and General Diagnostics
^ Inspect the EVAP canister for fuel saturation. If the EVAP canister is full of fuel, inspect the canister control and hoses.
^ Disconnect the MAF sensor and note if the rich condition is corrected. If disconnecting the sensor corrects the condition, replace the MAF sensor.
^ Inspect the fuel pressure regulator for a leaking fuel pressure regulator diaphragm by inspecting the vacuum line to the regulator for the presence of fuel. If fuel is found, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
^ An intermittent TP sensor output causes the system to go rich due to a false indication of the engine accelerating. The Throttle Angle display on a scan tool should increase steadily from 0% to 100% when opening the Throttle. If the Throttle angle does not increase steadily, inspect the TP sensor for loose mounting screws. If the TP mounting screws are OK, replace the TP sensor.
^ Test for a shorted HO2S. If the HO2S is internally shorted the HO2S voltage displayed on the scan tool is over 1 volt. Disconnect the affected HO2S and jumper the HO2S low circuit to ground with the key on and the engine not running. If the displayed HO2S voltage changes from over 1000 mV to around 450 mV, replace the HO2S. Silicon contamination of the HO2S may also cause a high HO2S voltage to be indicated. This condition is indicated by a powdery white deposit on the portion of the HO2S exposed to the exhaust stream. If contamination is noticed, replace the affected HO2S.
^ Test for an open HO2S signal, low circuit, or malfunctioning HO2S. A faulty connection or open in the HO2S signal or low circuit may cause the DTC to set during deceleration fuel mode. An HO2S which is malfunctioning and not allowing a full voltage swing between the rich and lean thresholds may also cause this condition. Operate the vehicle while monitoring the HO2S voltage with a scan tool. If the HO2S voltage is limited within a range between 300 mV to 600 mV, inspect the HO2S signal and low circuit wiring and associated terminal connections.
^ If the wiring and connections are OK, replace the affected HO2S.

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step numbers on the diagnostic table:
3. DTC P0132 failing during deceleration fuel mode operation (vehicle speed above 40 km/h / 25 mph, TP angle below 3%) may indicate a condition described in Diagnostic Aids. If the DTC P0132 test passes while the Fail Records conditions are being duplicated, an intermittent condition is indicated. Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
8. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced, the new PCM must be programmed.
