The Check Engine light came on in my 2006 Sebring Convertible. I had the code read at Autozone - P1128 (general fault?) and P0132 - O2 Sensor. I then took it to my dealership to have it serviced. They cleared the code, and drove it around - the check engine light did not come back on - so they would not replace the O2 sensor. Does this sound right? If the O2 sensor generated a code, shouldn't they assume the part is bad and replace it?

This code can also be caused by a thermostat that failed open. Is the engine heating up normally or taking longer than usual? Are there any symptoms? Did they run tests on the sensor? Personally, I perfer mechanics that confirm the fault before replacing parts. Too many of them do that. Be thankful that yours doesn't.

SOURCE: p1128 code

I looked on alldata, and my Chrysler site, and there is no P1128 code listed. Are you sure the code is correct? What motor is in it? I looked for the code online for generic reasons, and it says it is for upstream heated O2 sensors swapped. Never heard of this code ever in 14 years of service work.

A great tool to have that can save you some money to read computer error codes and clear them after work has been done can be had for under $100 from Actron. This is what I have been using and its a life saver but it's also good to have the vehicles repair manual as well.

The computer on this car is OBDII like many other vehicles out there these days so you'll need a tool that can plug in and read the outlet located above the shin of your right leg under the dashboard or steering wheel. Here is a link to a bunch of their products on amazon Actron and other OBDII Computer diagnostic code reader tools.

No. I would say replace the coil packs as they have probably gone bad. Fuel pump not coming on might be an issue but you can check power to both to make sure.

It doesn't have a shifter control module. It has a transmission control module. But the problem you likely have is that you need to run a quick learn reset on the TCM. You will need a scanner to do this or have a shop do it for you. You need to reset the adaptive memory of the TCM and run it through quick learn.

code p 0128 refers to coolant thermostat--coolant temp below thermostat regulating temperature ===causes --mechanical fault
replace the thermostat
your problem may be low fuel pressure from a faulty pressure regulator
