DTC P1134 or P1154

System Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) detects engine misfire events by monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Wheel speed changes caused by rough road conditions can cause changes in crankshaft rotation speed. By monitoring the wheel speed sensors, the antilock brake system (ABS) can determine if the vehicle is operating on a rough road. If the ABS is detecting a rough road condition severe enough to effect misfire detection, a rough road signal is sent to the PCM on the serial data circuit. If DTC P0300 is set with the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminated and the rough road information is not available due to an ABS malfunction, DTC P1380 will set.

Observe the HO2S Voltage parameter with a scan tool. Is the HO2S Voltage parameter less than the specified value?100 mVGo to Step 15Go to Step 13
13Test the HO2S low signal circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to the following: Circuit Testing Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Wiring Repairs Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 20Go to Step 17
14Test the HO2S high signal circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to the following: Circuit Testing Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Wiring Repairs Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 20Go to Step 17
15The HO2S may be detecting a rich exhaust condition, a lean exhaust condition, or the HO2S may be contaminated. Inspect for the following conditions: NOTE: Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Notice . A silicon contaminated HO2S Any water intrusion into the HO2S connector An exhaust leak between the HO2S and the engine Any vacuum leaks Engine oil contaminated with fuel An incorrect fuel pressure-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis . Any lean or rich fuel injectors-Refer to Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2 . An inaccurate mass air flow (MAF) sensor-Refer to Scan Tool Data List . Repair any of the above or similar engine conditions as necessary. Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 20Go to Step 16
16Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the HO2S. Refer to the following: Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Connector Repairs Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 20Go to Step 18
17Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to the following: Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Connector Repairs Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 20Go to Step 19
18Replace the affected HO2S. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 1 Sensor 2 or Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 2 Sensor 2 . Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 20
19Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 20
20Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?Go to Step 2Go to Step 21
21Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - VehicleSystem OK
IMPORTANT
The sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to a voltage source.
NOTE
Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Notice .
