DTC P0135 (41-2):  HO2S Heater Circuit Malfunction


1.Reset the ECM/PCM.

2.Start the engine.

Is DTC P0135 indicated?


YES - Go to 3.


NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at the  HO2S and at the  ECM/ PCM.n


3.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4.Disconnect the HO2S 4P connector.

5.At the HO2S side, measure resistance between the HO2S 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4.

 

Is there about 6 W (at room temperature)?


YES - Go to 6.


NO - Replace the  HO2S.n

6.Check for continuity between body ground and the HO2S 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4 individually.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Replace the  HO2S.n


NO - Go to 7.


7.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

8.Measure voltage between the HO2S 4P connector terminal No. 3 and No. 4.

 

Is there battery voltage?


YES - Go to 9.


NO - Go to 12.


9.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

10.Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).

11.Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and body ground.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the  HO2S.n


NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


12.Measure voltage between the HO2S 4P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

 

Is there battery voltage?


YES - Go to 13.


NO - Check the No. 16 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the wire between the  HO2S and No. 16 (7.5A) fuse.n

13.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

14.Reconnect the HO2S 4P connector.

15.Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).

16.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

17.Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and A5.

 

Is there 0.1 V or less?


YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the  HO2S.n


NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n
