O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Bank 1 Sensor 1

the bank one sensor is either disconnected are faulty.

the bank one sensor is the sensor in the exhaust of the rear cylinder bank of the engine cylinders 1,2,3, the sensor is the one before the catalytic converter. U will need an O2 semnsor socket to remove it or in some cases a 7/8" open end wrench will do.

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


What does that mean? 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
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

Also, the cams/crank are out of alignment, thats why you are getting a cam position code (P0340). For more details about your model, you can visit autozone.com (free register)

Hope helped whit this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

Trouble Code: P0134

HO2S-11 (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Insufficient Activity

Possible Causes:


HO2S heater is damaged or has failedHO2S signal or ground circuit has a high resistance conditionHO2S signal circuit is open or shorted to system power (B+)HO2S has failed (i.e., it is silicon, water or fuel contaminated)PCM has failed.Sounds like you need a new oxygen sensor,Bank 1 Sensor 1 is located on the exhaust manifold, closest to the front.Here's a link to the firing order,bank one is cylinder one side.Here's the part you need,here's how to replace.

I have a 2000 ss z28 with a code coming up po134 left bank is the left bank the driver side of car? i had 2 make the wire longer 2 fit a long tube header there are 2 dark brown wires if they where switch...

Yes. Left and right is determined from when you are sitting in the car. PO134 is o2 sensor insufficient activity. Bank 1, sensor 1. If you somehow got those wires switched, that would probably do it.

Po134 trouble code

Hi:
This code refers to the front oxygen sensor on Bank 1. Basically the oxygen sensor is inactive. Here's why:
The powertrain control module (PCM) provides a baseline voltage of about 450 mV on the oxygen sensor signal circuit. When cold, the PCM detects the the internal resistance of the sensor is high. As the sensor warms up the resistance is lowered and it starts producing voltage based on the oxygen content in the exhaust. When the PCM determines that the time it took for the sensor to warm up is greater than one minute or that the voltage is inactive (not reading outside 391-491 mV it views the sensor as inactive or open and sets the P0134 code.Potential Symptoms
One or more of the following may occur:
  • Check engine light illumination
  • Poorly running/engine missing
  • Blowing black smoke
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Dying, stuttering
Causes A code P0134 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Bad O2 (oxygen) sensor
  • Bad heater circuit in the O2 sensor
  • Wiring or connector to the sensor frayed / broken
  • Blown heater circuit fuse
  • Holes in the exhaust system
  • PCM failure
Possible Solutions The most common fix is to replace the oxygen sensor. But that doesn't rule out the possibility of:
  • Rusted exhaust pipe
  • Inspect wiring & connector(s) for problems
  • Excessive amperage blowing heater fuse (still requires replacement of sensor but also replacement of blown fuse)
  • Replace PCM (only as last resort after all other possibilities are covered.

Cheek eng, light is on and it is giving a code po134 but the car is run good.

when the ceck engine light is on you will almost never feeel any difference in the way the car feels or runs your code indicates the following

O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Bank 1 Sensor 1
You should replace the O2 sensor that is in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe just off the engine and before the catalytic converter.
