D

Poor connection at PCM–Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal

to wire connection.

D

Damaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness for
damage.
If the harness appears to be OK, observe the ECT
display on the Tech2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to the sensor.

A change in the display will indicate the location of
the fault.

If DTC P0128 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Faillure Records data can be useful in
determined vehicle mileage since the DTC was last
set.

If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P0128 Diagnostic Chart may
isolate the cause of the fault.

RODEO Y22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 

P0131 O2 SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

060R100030

Circuit Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal and low circuits. When measured
with a 10 mega

W

 digital voltmeter, this may display as low

as 350 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 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 injector pulse width
as necessary. If the Bank 1 HO2S 1 voltage remains
excessively low for an extended period of time,
Diagnostic Trouble Code P0131 will be set.  DTC P0131 is
a type A code.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

D

No related Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

D

Vehicle is operating in ”Closed Loop”.

D

Engine coolant temperature is above 60

°

C (140

°

F)

D

”Closed Loop” commanded air/fuel ratio is between
14.5 and 14.8.

D

Throttle angle is between 5.9% and 50%.

All above conditions met for 0.3 seconds and the following
condition is met for 190 test failures in 220 test samples
(125 msec/test).

D

Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains below 22 mV
during normal ”Closed Loop” operation.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

D

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

D

”Open Loop” fuel control will be in effect.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

The PCM will turn the MIL OFF on the third consecutive
trip cycle during which the diagnostic has been run and
the fault condition is no longer present.

D

A history Diagnostic Trouble Code P0131 will clear
after 40 consecutive warm–up cycles have occurred
without a fault.

D

Diagnostic Trouble Code P0131 can be cleared by
using the Scan Tool’s ”Clear Info” function.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

D

Heated oxygen sensor wiring – The sensor pigtail may
be routed incorrectly and/or contacting the exhaust
system. Also, check for shorts to ground, shorts to
battery positive and open circuits.

D

Poor PCM to engine block grounds.

6E1–154

RODEO Y22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

D

Fuel pressure – The system will go lean if pressure is
too low. The PCM can compensate for some decrease.
However, if fuel pressure is too low, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code P0131 may be set. Refer to Fuel System
Diagnosis. 

D

Lean injector(s) – Perform ”Injector Balance Test.”

D

Vacuum leaks – Check for disconnected or damaged
vacuum hoses and for vacuum leaks at the intake
manifold, throttle body, EGR system, and PCV system.

D

Exhaust leaks – An exhaust leak may cause outside air
to be pulled into the exhaust gas stream past the
HO2S, causing the system to appear lean. Check for
exhaust leaks that may cause a false lean condition to
be indicated.

D

Fuel contamination – Water, even in small amounts,
can be delivered to the fuel injectors. The water can
cause a lean exhaust to be indicated. Excessive
alcohol in the fuel can also cause this condition. For the
procedure to check for fuel contamination, Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis. 

If none of the above conditions are present, replace the
affected HO2S.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
3. Diagnostic Trouble Code P0131 failing during

operation may indicate a condition described in the
”Diagnostic Aids” above. If the Diagnostic Trouble
Code P0131 test passes while the Failure Records
conditions are being duplicated, an intermittent
condition is indicated.

Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the Diagnostic Trouble Code to
be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the
condition.
