DTC P0130

DTC P0130:  Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) Out of Range

General Description 

GHH331958Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

In the case of a failure which the air/fuel ratio (A/F) value read by the powertrain control module (PCM) deviates from the normal control range, the A/F sensor (sensor 1) may still become active after the engine starts, but the air/fuel feedback does not start normally and the emissions deteriorate. If the A/F sensor (sensor 1) output is out of the normal range, and this condition continues after the A/F sensor (sensor 1) is active, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type 

Execution Continuous
Sequence None
Duration 7.0 seconds or more
DTC Type Two drive cycles, MIL on

Enable Conditions 

Condition  
State of the engine Running

Malfunction Threshold 

A malfunction is detected when the A/F sensor (sensor 1) output voltage is 4.64 V or more.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:

The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

  • A/F sensor (sensor 1) failure

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

  1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed [ Engine Speed] at 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
  2. Air/fuel ratio feedback is started while idling, hold for at least 7 seconds.
NOTE:

[ ]: HDS Parameter

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
