DTC Troubleshooting: P0135 (41-2)

DTC P0135 (41-2):

Primary HO2S (Sensor 1) Heater Circuit Malfunction

1.	Reset the ECM/PCM.

2.	Start the engine. Is DTC P0135 indicated? YES - Go to 3. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) and at the ECM/ PCM.n

3.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4.	Disconnect the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) 4P connector.

At the primary HO2S side, measure resistance between the primary HO2S (sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4.

PRIMARY HO2S (SENSOR 1) 4P CONNECTORTerminal side of male terminals

Is there about 6 W (at room temperature)?

YES - Go to 6.

NO - Replace the primary HO2S (Sensor 1).n

6.	Check for continuity between body ground and the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4 individually. PRIMARY HO2S (SENSOR 1) 4P CONNECTORTerminal side of male terminals Is there continuity? YES - Replace the primary HO2S (Sensor 1).n NO - Go to 7.

7.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

8.	Measure voltage between the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and No. 4. PRIMARY HO2S (SENSOR 1) 4P CONNECTORPO2SHTC (BLK/WHT)IG1 (BLK/YEL)Wire side of female terminals Is there battery voltage? YES - Go to 9. NO - Go to 12.

9.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

10.	Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).

11.

Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and body ground.

ECM/PCM CONNECTOR A (31P)Wire side of female terminalsPO2SHTC
(BLK/WHT)

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the primary HO2S (Sensor 1).n

NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/ PCM.n

12.

Measure voltage between the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

PRIMARY HO2S (SENSOR 1)
4P CONNECTORWire side of female terminalsIG1
(BLK/YEL)

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to 13.

NO - Check the No. 16 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the wire between the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) and No. 16 (7.5A) fuse.n

13.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

14.	Reconnect the primary HO2S (Sensor 1) 4P connector.

15.	Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).

16.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

17.

Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and A5.

ECM/PCM CONNECTOR A (31P)Wire side of female terminalsPO2SHTC
(BLK/WHT)PG1(BLK)

Is there 0.1 V or less?

YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the primary HO2S (Sensor 1).n
