DTC P0131, P0132 [LF, L3]


DTC P0131 DTC P0132	Front HO2S stuck low Front HO2S stuck high
DETECTION CONDITION	• The PCM monitors the input voltage from the front HO2S when the following monitoring conditions are met. If input voltage from the sensor remains below or above 0.45 V for 41.2 s, the PCM determines that there is no front HO2S inversion. MONITORING CONDITIONS - Engine speed is above 1,500 rpm. - Engine coolant temperature is above 80 °C {176°F}. Diagnostic support note • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. • The PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. • The FREEZE FRAME DATA is available. • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• Front HO2S malfunction • Front HO2S heater malfunction • Fuel injector malfunction • Pressure regulator malfunction • Fuel pump malfunction • Fuel delivery hose clogging or leakage • Fuel filter clogging • Fuel return hose clogging or leakage • Air suction or leakage • PCV valve malfunction • Purge solenoid valve malfunction • Purge solenoid hoses are hooked up incorrectly. • Ignition coil malfunction • Insufficient compression • Engine malfunction

7		No	Inspect the following parts and repair or replace if necessary: • Fuel pump maximum pressure • Fuel return pipe for clogging - If all items above are normal, replace the pressure regulator. Then, go to Step 19.
8	INSPECT IF PURGE SOLENOID IS STUCK OPEN • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. • Disconnect both hoses from purge solenoid valve. • Blow air through purge solenoid valve. • Can air be blown through the valve?	Yes	Replace purge solenoid valve.
8		No	Go to Step 13.
9	INSPECT PCV VALVE OPERATION • Inspect PCV valve operation. (See PCV VALVE INSPECTION [LF, L3].) • Is PCV valve normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
9		No	Replace PCV, then go to Step 19.
10	INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE (LOW FUEL LINE PRESSURE) • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. • Inspect fuel line pressure. (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION [LF, L3].) • Is fuel line pressure normal?	Yes	Go to step 13.
10		No	Go to the next step.
11	INSPECT FUEL PUMP MAXIMUM PRESSURE • Stop the engine. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Perform the fuel pump maximum pressure test. (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION [LF, L3].) • Is the fuel pump maximum pressure normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
11		No	Inspect fuel pump circuit for an open or poor connection. • Repair or replace the suspected circuit. • If the circuit is normal, replace the fuel pump. then go to Step 19.
12	INSPECT FUEL LINE FROM FUEL PUMP TO FUEL DELIVERY PUMP • Visually inspect the fuel line for any leakage. • Is any fuel leakage found?	Yes	Replace the suspected fuel line, then go to Step 19.
12		No	Inspect the fuel filters for the following: • Restriction or clogging at the fuel filter (high-pressure side). • Foreign material or staining inside the fuel filter (low-pressure side) - If restriction or clogging is found at the fuel filter (high-pressure side), replace the fuel filter. - If foreign material or staining is found inside the fuel filter (low-pressure side), clean the fuel tank and filter. - If all the items above are normal, replace the pressure regulator. Then, go to Step 19.
13	CHECK IGNITION COIL OPERATION • Perform the spark test. (See Spark Test) • Do all the cylinders show a blinking condition?	Yes	Go to step 16.
13		No	Go to the next step.
14	INSPECT POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL AT IGNITION COIL CONNECTOR • Disconnect ignition coil connector. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure the voltage between ignition coil connector terminal D (harness-side) and body ground. • Is the voltage reading B+?	Yes	Go to the next step.
14		No	Check for an open circuit between the ignition coil connector and the ignition switch. Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 19.

17		No	Replace the injector, then go to Step 19.
18	INSPECT SEALING OF ENGINE COOLANT PASSAGE Warning • Removing the radiator cap when the radiator is hot is dangerous. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. • When removing the radiator cap, wrap a thick cloth around it and turn it slowly. • Remove the radiator cap. • Implement the procedure to bleed air from the engine coolant, then run the engine at idle. • Are there small bubbles that makes the engine coolant white at the filling opening? Note • Large bubbles are normal since they are due to remaining air coming out from the engine coolant passage.	Yes	Air penetrates due to poor sealing of the head gasket or other areas between the combustion chamber and the engine coolant passage. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts, then go to the next step.
18		No	Go to the next step.
19	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0131 or P0132 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Clear the DTC from the memory using the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Access the ECT and the RPM PIDs using the WDS or equivalent. • Make sure that the ECT PID is above 80 °C {176 °F}. • Increase and keep the engine speed above 1,500 rpm for at least 1 min. • Is the pending code the same as DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L3].)
19		No	Go to the next step.
20	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [LF, L3].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [LF, L3].)
