Advanced Diagnostics: DTC P0134: Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) Signal Stuck Lean

The document describes DTC P0134 for an air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor signal stuck lean issue. It details that the A/F sensor is heated to maintain an accurate reading, and a malfunction occurs if the sensor does not activate properly after startup or the resistance remains high when the heater is on. The monitor runs continuously, looking for the resistance to be over 40 ohms for over 90 seconds to trigger the code. Driving instructions are provided to replicate the issue. The MIL will illuminate upon detection and clear after three drive cycles without recurrence.

General Description
The air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor is activated by heating the element with the heater to maintain it at a steady high temperature
so the air/fuel (A/F) ratio can be accurately calculated. The A/F sensor does not become active when the element is not
heated enough due to a heater malfunction, etc., and the exhaust emissions deteriorate. The engine control module (ECM)/
powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the A/F sensor condition by monitoring the A/F sensor internal resistance.
1. When the A/F sensor does not activate in a set time after the A/F sensor heater starts to warm up (within high A/F sensor
internal resistance), a malfunction of the A/F sensor heater is detected, and a DTC is stored.
2. The A/F sensor heater cycles ON and OFF within a set time. The heater’s state is detected by monitoring the internal
resistance of the A/F sensor. If the resistance remains high when the heater is ON, a malfunction in the A/F sensor heater
is detected, and a DTC is stored.

Execution Continuous

Sequence None

Duration 90 seconds or more

DTC Type One drive cycle, MIL ON

Enable Conditions
Condition Minimum Maximum

Engine coolant temperature 41ºF (5ºC) —

Battery voltage 10.5 V 16.0 V

Fuel feedback Other than during fuel cut-off operation

No active DTCs A/F Sensor, ECT

Malfunction Threshold
Malfunction determination 1
The A/F sensor internal resistance value is 40 Ω or more for at least 90 seconds right after the engine starts.

Malfunction determination 2
The A/F sensor internal resistance value is 40 Ω or more for at least 16 seconds.

Driving Pattern
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load (in park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
2. Let the engine idle for at least 2 minutes.

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the ECM/PCM
memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL


The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.
The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the
battery.
