There is some items that still can be checked : see below the sensor checks with the dtc codes
- Check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S).
- Check for silicon contamination from fuel or improperly used sealant. The
sensor will have a white powdery coating. The sensor will result in a high but
false signal voltage (rich exhaust indication). The Control
Module will reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine causing a
severe driveability problem.
- Refer to DTC P0131 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
- Refer to DTC P0132 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
- Refer to DTC P0133 HO2S Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
- Refer to DTC P0134 HO2S Insufficient Activity Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
- Refer to DTC P0135 HO2S Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
- Refer to DTC P0137 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2 .
- Refer to DTC P0138 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank1 Sensor 2 .
- Refer to DTC P0140 HO2S Insufficient Activity Bank1 Sensor 2 .
- Refer to DTC P0141 HO2S Heater Circuit Bank1 Sensor 2 .
- Check the Throttle Position (TP) sensor. If a sticking throttle shaft
or binding linkage causes a high TP sensor open throttle indication, the Control
Module will not control the idle. Monitor the TP sensor voltage. A scan tool
and/or voltmeter should read less than 0.85 volts with the throttle closed.
- Check the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor using the scan tool
to compare the engine coolant temperature with the ambient air temperature on a
cold engine. If the coolant temperature reading is more than 5 degrees greater
than or less than the ambient air temperature on a cold engine, check for a high
resistance in the coolant sensor circuit or the sensor itself. Refer to DTC
P1115 ECT Sensor CKT Intermittent High Voltage Diagnostic Aids or DTC P0118 ECT
Sensor Circuit High Voltage Diagnostic Aids .
- Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
sensor response and accuracy. Refer to DTC P0106 MAP System Performance
- Check for vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can cause a higher than normal idle and
low Idle Air Control ( IAC)
counts.
Check the IAC Valve on the throttle body. The IAC
will not move if the system voltage is not within 9 to 16 volts...
Your mechanic should be able to do these test if he has the proper diagnostic equipment. if not take it to the dealer ... but this shoudl help some anymore woiuld have to be hands on diagnostic ..
Good Luck
I mentioned that to him, he said no way! Just in case, what is a secondary solution?
