Note. If some of the DTCs listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P1149 or P1165, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then troubleshoot DTC P1149 or P1165.

P0137, P0138: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2)

P0141: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) heater

  1. Reset the ECM/PCM (see «HOW TO RESET THE ECM/PCM»(ref-173106-S10389340332005031000000) ).
  2. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
  3. Test-drive under the following conditions: 55 mph (89 km/h) steady speed CVT in D position (M/T in 5th gear) Until the A/F monitor readiness code is set to complete or Temporary DTC P1149 (P1165) comes on
  4. Check for a Temporary DTC with the HDS or a scan tool. Is Temporary DTC P1149 (P1165) indicated? YES - Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see «Primary HO2S and A/F Sensor Replacement»(ref-173107-S03768689142005031000000) ). NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor relay, at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and at the ECM/PCM.

  1. Reset the ECM/PCM (see «HOW TO RESET THE ECM/PCM»(ref-173106-S10389340332005031000000) ).
  2. Start the engine. Is DTC P1157 indicated? YES - Go to step 3. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and at the ECM/PCM.
  3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  4. Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector and ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
  5. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
  6. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals A6 and A16. Is there continuity? YES - Go to step 9 . NO - Go to step 7.
  7. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 1 to body ground with a jumper wire.
  8. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals A6 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair open in the wire between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM (A16). NO - Repair open in the wire between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM (A6).
  9. Substitute a known-good A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and recheck. Is DTC P1157 indicated? YES - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck (see «HOW TO SUBSTITUTE OR REPLACE THE ECM/PCM»(ref-173106-S12924459732005031000000) ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM. NO - Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see «Primary HO2S and A/F Sensor Replacement»(ref-173107-S03768689142005031000000) ).
