ACURA INTEGRA 1998 Service Repair Manual

Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) lsensor 1l
The Heated Oxygen Sensor {HO2S) detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and signals the ECM. In operation, theECM receives the signals from the sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is iniected. To stabilize the sensor,soutput, the sensor has an internal heater and the sensor element is coated with a catalyst. The HO2S is installed in TWChousing (818C'1, 818C5 engines) or exhaust pipe B {81881 engine).

The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0133: A slow response problem in the Primary
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO25) (Sensor 1) circuit.
Description
By controlling the airlfuel ratio with a Primary HO2S (Sensor 'l) and a Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2), the deterioration of the
primary HO2S {Sensor 1) can be evaluated by its teedback period. When the feedback period of the HO2S exceeds a cer-
lain value during stable driving conditions, the sensor will be judged as deteriorated.
When deterioration has been detected during two consecutive trips, the MIL comes on and DTC P0133 will be stored
NOTE: ll DTC P013't, P0132 and/or P0'135 are stored at the same time as DTC P0133, troubleshoot those DTCS first, then
troubleshoot DTC P0133.
