If your check engine light is on and you have a diagnostic trouble code P0135 stored in the PCM's memory... then you've come to the right place to test and troubleshoot the upstream oxygen sensor.
A P0135 DTC says: HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1... and this means that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module = Fuel Injection Computer) has detected a problem with the front oxygen sensor's heater element or a problem in the heater's circuit (wires).
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to check the oxygen (O2) sensor's heater element and the two circuits that feed it with power (10 to 12 Volts) and ground with a multimeter.
In case you're wondering, where the oxygen (O2) sensor that the code P0135 is accusing of being BAD is... this bad boy is located on the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
To help you navigate this article, here are its main points:

2. What Tools Do I Need to Test Code P0135?
3. What Does the Heater Inside the Oxygen Sensor Do?

Hi there:
This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).
SymptomsYou will likely notice poor fuel economy the illumination of the Check Engine Light.

A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:open or short to ground in the wiring harnessO2 heater circuit wiring high resistanceO2 heater element resistance is highInternal short or open in the heater elementNote: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.

Possible SolutionsReplace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors

Hope helps.

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

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

P0154 definition 02 (Oxygen sensor) circuit no activity detected bank 2 sensor 1, You need to test the heater circuit for its 12 volts and test the ground, its basically a dead 02 sensor,If you have a misfire you would have code as lean activivty, basically there is no lean to rich activity for this code to come on

simple fix ...its the rear post converter oxygen sensor ...that means its the last 02 sensor on the rear of the converter the last one in line....22 mm wrench and your done..

P0001 Fuel Volume Regulator Control Circuit/Open The above code is about an oxygen sensor code for the heater circuit located in bank 1 sensor 1. (bank 1 is at exhaust manifold by the #1 cylinder head, bank 2 is on the 2nd cylinder head. On some engines, both exhaust manifolds could have one oxygen sensor each side and the 2nd cylinder head will have the sensor 2). On the oxygen sensor itself, it has 4 wires which are color coded. Two of wires are for the heater circuit that heats the oxygen sensor to make it reach optimum operation quickly. Those 2 oxygen sensor heater wires could be shorted between the sensor and the ecm (engine computer) or other engine components.
The common fix for this code is to check the integrity of the heater wires. Check the wires for insulation and routing which could be loose or touching a hot exhaust that can short the wires. If the engine has too many miles, it is possible that the heater circuit inside is worn and shorted which needs a replacement of the oxygen sensor. If you have a DVOM, you can also test the continuity of the heater wires from the oxygen sensor to your computer pins.
More detailed fixes will be provided as soon as you give the symptoms of the obd2 trouble code. ATS will provide the wiring diagram so you can trace the color coded wires. Use an obd2 code reader or scanner so you can access this obd2 trouble code. When you have this obd2 code list, use it as a reference and give the code to ATS. We will then send you all the possible fixes for the obd2 trouble code. ATS has lots of fixes for obd2 gm codes, obd2 ford codes, dodge obd2 codes and all obd2 import codes such as Toyota obd2 codes, Honda obd2 codes, Nissan obd2 codes, etc. All fixes for this obd2 codes are guaranteed or your money back.
Important TIPS about Oxygen sensor:
The oxygen sensor content of the exhaust gas indicates when the engine mixture is operating lean or rich. When the oxygen sensor detects that the engine is operating rich, the signal voltage is high, and any decreases in the signal voltage means the engine running is lean. The engine computer supplies a reference voltage like one volt or five volts, and then shows the change in the sensor return voltage as the sensor's resistance is changing. If you have connected everything properly, when you crank the engine, you should see the check engine light coming out.
Unheated oxygen sensors rely on the heat of the exhaust gases to reach the working temperature, therefore they might start to cool down while the engine is idling and revert back to a default air-fuel ratio setting. This type of sensor usually has a single wire connector, though others have two. Unlike the fuel pump relay, the 02 sensor heater circuits have a separate fuse for each sensor and grounds, which are controlled by the engine computer.
To read a voltage across the heater, one side must be connected to (+) and one side must be connected to (-), which is accomplished by the computer or a transistor. It can read 12V between each wire and a separate ground if it was connected to positive and the other was not yet connected to ground connection (for details, please contact ATS).after you replace oxygen sensor you have to drive for so many miles before it resets its sef

P0134 - 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank I Sensor 1)

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 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.

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

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.
