DTC P0133 02 SENSOR CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the slow response of front oxygen (A/F) sensor.
Front oxygen (A/F) sensor cover has some ventilation holes for exhaust gas. Clogged ventilation holes are diagnosed.
When the holes are clogged, the A/F output variation becomes slow comparing with the actual A/F variation because oxygen which reaches the zirconia layer is insufficient. Therefore, if the sensor cover holes are clogged, the rich to lean judgment in the ECM is delayed when the actual change from rich to lean occurs.
Judge as NG when the actual movement in comparison to the ECM control amount is slow.

3. ENABLE CONDITION






4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Perform diagnosis only once at a constant speed of 10 km/h - 120 km/h (6.2 MPH - 74.6 MPH) 120000 ms or more after starting the engine.

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
Calculate faf difference every 32 ms x 4, and the X value difference. Calculate the diagnosis value after calculating 820 time(s).

Abnormality Judgement
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: 32 ms x 4 x 820 time(s)

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

Normality Judgement
Judge as OK and clear the NG if the continuous time while the following conditions are established is more than the predetermined time.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: 32 ms x 4 x 820 time(s)
