Sometimes replacement O2 sensors take a while to warmup and sometimes when we replace the orginal 02 sensors with aftermarket they just don't perform as well as OE. I had the same problem on a different vehicle but after a long drive the codes went away and by long drive i mean an hour or two drive, of course if you don't need to drive that far just give it a couple of days and clear the code and see if it still persists.

I doubt it. Code 133 is for the O2 sensor that covers cylinders one and four, and code 153 covers cylinders two and three. The codes mean the sensors are slow to change. The sensors are supposed to change from lean to rich and back several times per minute.
When the O2 sensors read rich, the computer slows down the injectors, then when they read lean, the computer opens the injectors faster.
The problem could be a lack of fuel, too much fuel, or the engine is not reaching normal operating temp among other things.
You would need to use a scanner to watch the data stream to find out whats happening with the sensors and injectors. The computer would be the last choice for a cause.

SOURCE: Code P0158

Bank 2 sensor 2 is the post-catalytic converter O2 sensor on (usually) the driver's side. It's the sensor that the car uses to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Whichever side of the engine has cylinders 4, 5, and 6 is bank 2 (you'll probably find that information on a decal underhood). Flashing the computer could be as easy as what you're doing (resetting by disconnecting the battery), or it may involve a more detailed process including diagnostic software. It's most likely though that what you are doing is all that's required - disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or so puts the ECU back into learn mode, and it basically starts fresh to relearn the engine's operating parameters.

SOURCE: Check engine light remains on.

u must have the vehicle scanned. autozone does it for free. once u have the code number, something like p0420, u can then begin to determine the cause.

I just replaced Bank 1 oxygen sensor and Bank 2 oxygen sensor. Why do my check engine light show code P0133 and P0171?

you will need a dtc scan tool to reset the codes so the computer reflects the repairs made

What are codes P0133 & P1134, for a 2005 Buick Lacrosse 3.8L V6 with 94,000 miles.

i have replaced an O2 sensor and had similar failure after 1500 miles.
I removed it, chkd it, reinstalled it and it ran fine.
P0133 is related to slow response of O2 sensor. P1134 is mfg specific so google that for ur car.

1996 Toyota 4runner 3.4L error code p0133

SAE J2012 Revised DEC2007 lists Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0133 as "O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1"

This code basically means that the upstream oxygen sensor on bank one of your engine is not responding as quickly as it should to changes in oxygen leavels in the exhaust.

The usual causes of this is an oxygen sensor that is just plain worn out (if it has a lot of miles on it) or an oxygen sensor that is contaminated by engine oil or antifreeze leaks causing these fluids to be burned in the exhaust (like bad piston rings, defective PCV valve, blown head gasket, etc.).

In any case, the oxygen sensor needs to be replaced. However it should be noted that if it is caused by contamination like that described above, replacing it will only result in a new oxygen sensor doing the same thing if the cause of the contamination is not repaired.

Check engine light came on though the car runs fine. Mechanic said the code was p0153. He reset it and had me drive it around 'till it came on again. Came on two weeks later.

Why would a mechanic tell you to drive a vehicle
with an O2 Sensor Code, and why clear the code?

Plain stupid

PO153-O2 Sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 1) slow response

Just buy the sensor and replace yourself.

It is slow because it is worn out,most likely over
100,000 miles on it

Replace both front sensors ,if you have 2,the ones

P0340 OBD-II Trouble Code - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction

This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it.

Symptoms can include:
* Hard starting or no start
* Rough running / misfiring
* Loss of engine power

Causes: A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
* a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
* the camshaft position sensor may have failed
* the PCM may have failed
* there exists an open circuit
* the crankshaft position sensor may have failed

Possible Solutions: With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:
* Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit
* Check for continuity in the circuit wiring
* Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor
* Replace the camshaft position sensor as required
* Check the crankshaft position circuit as well
* Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required
* Diagnose/replace the PCM as required



P0133 OBD-II Trouble Code - Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank1, Sensor1)

This involves the front oxygen sensor on Bank 1. This code indicates the engine air fuel ratio is not being adjusted by the oxygen sensor signal or the ECM as expected to do so, or not adjusted as often as expected to do so once the engine is warmed or under normal engine use.

Symptoms: You will likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms.

Causes: A code P0133 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* The oxygen sensor is faulty
* The wiring to the sensor is broken / frayed
* There is an exhaust leak

Possible Solutions: The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
If the code comes back, the problem is more than likely the front Bank 1 oxygen sensor. You will likely wind up replacing it but you should also consider these possible solutions:
* Check and fix any exhaust leaks
* Check for wiring problems (shorted, frayed wires)
* Check the frequency and amplitude of the oxygen sensor (advanced)
* Check for a deteriorating / contaminated oxygen sensor, replace if necessary
* Check for inlet air leaks
* Check the MAF sensor for proper operation

You need to conect a scanner to the car,because the check engine light is on. then, the scanner give you a code, this code have a description of a trouble from a sensor or actuator in the electronic fuel inyection sistem. you need to check all around from this actuator or sensor before you replace it. example:

code 045: bad signal from oxigen sensor.
check exhaust manifold and piping before sensor to find holes..
you need to check electrical conector( see for phisical damage: broken, born, etc) of this sensor, the incoming voltage from computer, output signal to car´s computer. etc.
this is an example. you need to know what code have your car to fix it.

WHICH O2 SENSOR HAS THE HEATER CIRCUIT IN IT BEFORE OR AFTER THE CATALYST

Hi.
The Oxigen sensor are in diferent kind.
1 -- With a single wire. " is only oxigen sensor"
2 -- With 2 wires " is only oxigen sensor"
3 -- With 3 wires " Is oxigen and heater sensor"
4 -- With 4 wires " is oxigen sensor and heater sensor.
5 -- with 6 wires " is oxigen, heater A/F sensor" normally Nissan)

OK........Your question.
Depend of the year of your car.
But all the car they are Bank 1 or single bank. Engine in line
4 cyl . or 6 cyl. And are identified sensor 1 bank 1 and sensor 2 bank 1. S11 or S21.
But all the Engines in V are bank 1 and bank 2.
Sensor 1 bank 1, sensor 2 bank 1, S11 or S21.
Sensor 1 bank 2, sensor 2 bank 2, S12 or S22.
Sensor one is alway before catalystic.
Sensor two is alway after catalystic.

If you have problen with the oxigen sensor you need to put a scanner to see the number of code, The number of code will give the especific sensor that you need to replace.
The code can be heater or oxigen. and can be refer to a the same sensor.

I hope this information work for youu.
Thank you for use fixya.
