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

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.
