WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2016 Lincoln Navigator, 2016 Lincoln MKZ, 2016 Lincoln MKX, 2016 Lincoln MKT, and 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC DESCRIPTION P0133 - O2 CIRCUIT SLOW RESPONSE (BANK 1, SENSOR 1)

Description:  The 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 chart oxygen sensor signal amplitude. This DTC sets when the oxygen sensor signal does not reach the predicted amplitude within a predetermined response time.
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Incorrect fueling
  • Mass airflow (MAF) sensor (if equipped)
  • Intake air leaks
  • Contaminated universal heated oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 1 (HO2S11) (if equipped)
  • Contaminated HO2S11 (if equipped)
  • Deteriorating universal HO2S11 (if equipped)
  • Deteriorating HO2S11 (if equipped)
