DTC P0133:00

A/F sensor circuit slow response

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the A/F sensor terminal A current slow response while the A/F fluctuation being provided when following monitoring conditions are met. If the average value of slow response is more than specified value, the PCM determine that the A/F sensor has a deterioration.
MONITORING CONDITIONS
―  Drive Mode 03 (A/F Sensor Heater, HO2S Heater, A/F Sensor, HO2S, and TWC Repair Verification Drive Mode)
―  The following conditions are met:
•  A/F sensor heater monitor is completed.
•  Fuel system loop status is closed loop fuel control.
―  Engine speed: 1,350—3,500 rpm
―  Absolute load: 15—70% (at engine speed: 2,500 rpm)
―  Intake air volume: 5—40 g/s
―  Engine coolant temperature: above 70 °C {158 °F}
Diagnostic support note
•  This is an intermittent monitor (A/F sensor, HO2S).
•  The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
•  PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
•  DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  A/F sensor looseness
•  Leakage exhaust system
•  Purge system malfunction
―  Purge solenoid valve malfunction
―  Improper connection evaporative hose (purge solenoid valve side)
•  Fuel supply system malfunction or insufficient fuel line pressure
―  Clogged or restricted fuel line
―  Fuel leakage in the fuel line between the fuel distributor and the fuel pump
•  Engine internal malfunction
―  Engine coolant leakage to combustion chamber
―  Insufficient engine compression
•  A/F sensor deterioration
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)
•  Perform the Freeze Frame PID Data Access Procedure.
•  Is the DTC P0133:00 on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the troubleshooting procedures for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2).
2
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED
•  Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (A/F sensor, HO2S related) been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on repair order, then go to the next step.
3
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related Service Information availability.
•  Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
4
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND STORED DTC
•  Switch the ignition off, then ON (engine off).
•  Verify the related PENDING CODE and stored DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Are any other DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT INSTALLATION OF A/F SENSOR
•  Inspect if the A/F sensor is loosely installed.
•  Is the A/F sensor installed securely?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Retighten the A/F sensor, then go to Step 12.
6
INSPECT GAS LEAKAGE FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM
•  Visually inspect if there is any gas leakage between the exhaust manifold and A/F sensor.
•  Is there any leakage?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE AND EVAPORATIVE HOSE
•  Inspect the purge solenoid valve and evaporative hose connection.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Inspect the fuel line pressure while the engine running.
•  Is the fuel line pressure normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
9
INSPECT SEALING OF ENGINE COOLANT PASSAGE
•  Perform the “ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION“.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
No
Go to the next step.
10
INSPECT ENGINE COMPRESSION
•  Inspect the engine compression.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts according to the inspection results, then go to Step 12.
No
Go to the next step.
11
INSPECT A/F SENSOR
•  Inspect the A/F sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the A/F sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
12
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Drive the vehicle under the MONITORING CONDITIONS.
•  Perform the Drive Mode 03 (A/F Sensor Heater, HO2S Heater, A/F Sensor, HO2S, and TWC Repair Verification Drive Mode).
•  Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
13
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
