DTC P1195: Slow 1/1 O2S During Catalyst Monitor: Testing
NOTE:
1/1 HO2S may also be referred to as an upstream oxygen sensor. On 2.5L and 4.0L Federal models, 1/1 HO2S is located in exhaust downpipe in front of catalytic converter. On 4.0L Calif. models, 1/1 HO2S is located in front exhaust manifold.
- Start engine and allow it to idle. Check exhaust system for excessive smoke caused by internal oil or coolant consumption. Repair engine mechanical condition as necessary and replace 1/1 HO2S. If engine mechanical condition is okay, go to next step.
- Ensure engine is still idling. Check exhaust system for leaks between engine and catalytic converter. Repair exhaust system as necessary. If exhaust system is okay, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect 1/1 HO2S connector. Visually inspect connector for corroded, damaged, pushed-out or miswired terminals. Repair connector as necessary. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Measure resistance between ground and Brown/Yellow wire at 1/1 HO2S connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Brown/Yellow wire between ground connection and 1/1HO2S. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect PCM connectors. PCM is located in engine compartment on left front fender, near radiator support. Visually inspect connectors for corroded, damaged, pushed-out or miswired terminals. Repair connectors as necessary. If connectors are okay, go to next step.
- At this time, 1/1 HO2S is assumed to be defective. Replace 1/1 HO2S.
