Sensor 1 refers to the upstream O2 sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heated O2 sensors have four wires, and two of those wires are always the same color, sometimes white, sometimes brown. Those are the two heater wires; one will typically receive voltage with the key on (through a relay) and the other is the ground, controlled by the ECM\/PCM. If the circuit opens within the ECM\/PCM, or at a connector, or if either wire is severed or shorted, the P0134 may be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the P0134 code doesn&rsquo;t appear on many vehicles, and even on the vehicles where it does appear, the code doesn&rsquo;t always mean the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, on a<strong> 2018 Honda Accord<\/strong>, the P0134 specifically means the O2 Heater in Bank 1 Sensor 1 has malfunctioned. Of course, if the heater goes dark due to an open circuit or a bad heater in the sensor, the sensor may stop producing voltage. The ceramic zirconia must maintain 600&deg;F in order to produce the voltage it sends to the ECM\/PCM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> Although code P0134 is a generic code specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the code&rsquo;s definition may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does an Oxygen Sensor Do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>O2 sensors keep track of the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. There is an upstream O2 sensor (the sensor before the catalytic converter) and a downstream sensor (located after the catalytic converter). The upstream sensor is referred to as sensor 1, and the downstream sensor is sensor 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM uses the signal from the upstream sensor to calculate fuel control and the signal from the downstream sensor to determine the efficiency of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converter\">catalytic converter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All modern oxygen sensors are heated oxygen sensors (HO2S). That means each sensor has a heating element that the PCM activates to bring the sensor up to operating temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM ignores the signal from the O2 sensor until the sensor is warmed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM keeps track of the time it takes for an oxygen sensor to warm up. If the sensor takes longer than the PCM expects (or the sensor is not responsive), the module considers the sensor as inactive or open. It&rsquo;ll then turn on the check engine light and store diagnostic trouble code P0134 in its memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Possible Causes of the P0134 Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common issues that can trigger the code P0134 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bad or failing O2 sensor and\/or the heater in that sensor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems with the O2 sensor circuit (wires, connectors, or the sensor itself)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issues with the PCM itself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Man hold in hand faulty old oxygen sensor of exhaust system\" class=\"wp-image-43356\" style=\"width:1024px;height:682px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Man-hold-in-hand-faulty-old-oxygen-sensor-of-exhaust-system.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bad or failing oxygen sensor can cause the P0134 code.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These issues are not mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Common Symptoms of the P0134 Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A problem with the upstream oxygen sensor or its control circuit can cause several problems.

There are many problems that can potentially trigger the code. What&rsquo;s more, vehicles are often engineered differently based on their make and model. This means they may require a specific diagnostic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s why, before attempting to fix the code, you need to consult the factory repair information for your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure if your automotive know-how is enough to address the issue? Use repair manuals, such as those from Chilton, to expand your knowledge&mdash;or invest in an ALLDATA subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALLDATA has single-vehicle subscriptions for DIYers that provide detailed factory repair information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get an Oxygen Sensor Replacement for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your vehicle logged a P0134 code, it might only be a matter of time before you experience issues like rough idling or low fuel economy.
