Increase engine speed to greater than 1200 RPM for 2 minutes. Using scan tool, read LOOP MODE. If scan tool displays CLOSED LOOP, go to step 5. If scan tool does not display CLOSED LOOP, go to next step.

Turn ignition on, with engine off. If scan tool indicates HO2S voltage of 200 mV or less, go to next step. If voltage is greater than 200 mV, go to step 6.
- Turn ignition off. Remove test adapter jumper wires. Using DVOM, check voltage between HO2S low circuit (Tan/White wire) and battery voltage. If 12 volts is indicated, go to step 7. If 12 volts is not indicated, go to step 9.
- DTC P0134 is intermittent. If any additional DTCs are set, diagnose affected DTCs. If no additional DTCs are set, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Check HO2S harness connector signal circuit (Purple/White wire) for open circuit. If no open is found, go to step 8. If open is found, go to step 11.
- Check HO2S for faulty connection. If faulty connection is found, go to step 11. If connection is okay, go to step 10.
- Check VCM for faulty connection. If faulty connection is found, go to step 11. If faulty connection is not found, go to step 12.
- Repair open ground circuit (Black wire). After repairs, go to step 13.
- Rnsor, go to step 13.
- Repair faulty connection(s) as necessary. After repairs, go to step 13.
- Replace VCM. Program replacement VCM. See PROGRAMMING . After replacing VCM, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, select DTC, CLEAR INFO function. Start engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Using scan tool, select DTC, SPECIFIC function and enter DTC P0134. Operate vehicle within conditions required to set DTC. If scan tool displays RAN AND PASSED, go to next step. If scan tool does not display RAN AND PASSED, return to step 2.
- Using scan tool, select Read and Record INFO, REVIEW INFO function. If any undiagnosed DTCs are displayed, diagnose affected DTCs. If no DTCs are displayed, system is okay.
