Code No. P0134: Oxygen Sensor (front) Circuit No Activity Detected


OPERATION



  • Check code No. P0131: oxygen sensor (front) circuit low voltage (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0261: No. 1 injector circuit low input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0262: No. 1 injector circuit high input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0264: No. 2 injector circuit low input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0265: No. 2 injector circuit high input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0267: No. 3 injector circuit low input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0268: No. 3 injector circuit high input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0270: No. 4 injector circuit low input (Refer to ).
  • Check code No. P0271: No. 4 injector circuit high input (Refer to ).

FUNCTION



  • The engine-ECU effects air/fuel ratio feedback control in accordance with the signals from the oxygen sensor (front).
  • If the oxygen sensor (front) has deteriorated, corrections will be made by the oxygen sensor (rear).
  • Code No. P0134 becomes stored in memory if a failure is detected in the above air/fuel ratio feedback control system.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Conditions
  • Typically 15 seconds have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
  • Engine coolant temperature is more than 76 °C.
  • Engine speed is more than 1,188 r/min.
  • Volumetric efficiency is more than 30 %.
  • Except while fuel is being shut off.
  • Monitoring time: 30 seconds.
Judgement Criterion
  • Oxygen sensor (front) output voltage does not get across lean/rich criteria (about 0.5 V) within about 30 seconds.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION



  • None

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed oxygen sensor (front)
  • Harness damage in oxygen sensor (front) circuit
  • Failed injector
  • Harness damage in injector circuit
  • Exhaust leak
  • Air drawn in from gaps in gasket, seal, etc.
  • Incorrect fuel pressure
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
