DTC P0133: O2 Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1, Sensor 1)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0133 - O2 CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1, SENSOR 1)

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors oxygen sensor response time by commanding a calibrated fuel control routine. This routine sets the air fuel ratio to a calibrated limit to produce a predictable oxygen sensor signal amplitude. For vehicles with universal heated oxygen sensors (HO2S), the test fails if the oxygen sensor signal does not reach the predicted amplitude within a predetermined response time. For vehicles with heated oxygen sensors (HO2S), the test fails when the oxygen sensor amplitude is less than the predicted minimum amplitude limit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Contaminated HO2S
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Incorrect fueling
  • Mass airflow MAF sensor
  • Deteriorating HO2S
  • Inlet air leaks
Diagnostic Aids:  Access the HO2S test results from the scan tool to verify the DTC.
