DTC Detection Logic

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti M35h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To judge malfunctions, this diagnosis measures response time of the A/F signal computed by ECM from the A/F sensor 1 signal. The time is compensated by engine operating (speed and load), fuel feedback control constant, and the A/F sensor 1 temperature index. Judgment is based on whether the compensated time (the A/F signal cycling time index) is inordinately long or not.

DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name (Trouble diagnosis content) DTC detecting condition Possible Cause
P0133 A/F SENSOR1 (B1) [Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 (bank 1) circuit slow response]
  • The response of the A/F signal computed by ECM from A/F sensor 1 signal takes more than the specified time.
  • Harness or connectors (The A/F sensor 1 circuit is open or shorted.)
  • A/F sensor 1
  • A/F sensor 1 heater
  • Fuel pressure
  • Fuel injector
  • Intake air leaks
  • Exhaust gas leaks
  • PCV
  • Mass air flow sensor
P0153 A/F SENSOR1 (B2) [Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 (bank 2) circuit slow response]
