Heated Oxygen Sensor Ho2S Signals (V6 Only)

DTC P1128 DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P1128 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HO2S SIGNALS
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • P1128 indicates that during KOER testing the front HO2S signal(s) response for a fuel shift to the correct engine bank was not indicated.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Crossed HO2S harness connectors.
  • Crossed wiring at HO2S harness connectors.
  • Crossed wiring at 104-pin PCM harness connector.
  • Poor terminal connection.
HINT  HO2S Sensor Description 
  • Detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage (0.0 -1.1 V) according to the amount of oxygen detected.
    • A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a low voltage signal (less than 0.4 V).
    • A low concentration of oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a high voltage signal (greater than 0.6 V).
  • Provides feedback to the PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during closed loop engine operation.

DTC P1128 INSPECTION

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1
  • Was PCM Quick Test performed? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Perform PCM Quick Test.
2 KOER DTC P1128
  • Visually inspect vehicle front HO2S harness connector(s) for any indication of being crossed (stretched wires, wire harnesses not mounted properly).
  • Are there crossed connections or wires? 
Yes Repair as necessary.
Go to step 4.
No Go to next step.
3 VERIFY PROPER HO2S SIG PIN LOCATION
  • Disconnect PCM.
  • Install Breakout Box, leave PCM disconnected.
  • Disconnect both of the front HO2S sensors from the vehicle harness connector.
    • HO2S-11 (Front RH) = test pin 60
    • HO2S-21 (Front LH) = test pin 87
  • Measure the resistance of HO2S signal circuits between PCM test pins and HO2S harness connector.
  • Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms? 
Yes Unable to duplicate or identify fault at this time.
See TEST 4: INTERMITTENT .
No Reconnect HO2S connector to proper HO2S signal pins in the PCM 104-pin harness or HO2S harness connectors.
Go to step 4.
4 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTCs COMPLETED
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear DTCs from PCM memory using NGS tester generic OBD-II function.
  • Perform PCM Quick Test.
  • Is same DTC present? 
Yes Replace PCM. See COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS .
Repeat PCM Quick Test.
No If any other DTC is present, go to applicable DTC inspection.
If no DTC is present, troubleshooting complete.
