Anyone have any idea on these 2 codes: P1133, P1153

thanks

What kind of a vehicle is it?
You might check Google.

P1133 is the heated Oxygen sensor, insufficient switching bank 1, sensor 1
P1153 is the heated Oxygen sensor, insufficient switching bank 2, sensor 1.
Same on both banks I would be looking for possible vacuum leak or EGR valve problem.

Could also be a problem with the fuel pressure regulator and it's vacuum line.

I cleared the codes yesterday, and they haven't come back......yet. Seems like I get these codes only when the truck is idling after start up

Did you check for vacuum leaks?
ounds like the fuel pressure regulator is dumping too much fuel in at idle.

Haven't checked yet. If it was the regulator, wouldn't the code come back as soon as I cleared it?

CODE# P1133

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

IMPORTANT: If this voltage is measured by using a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, the voltage may read as low as 0.32 volt.

The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) varies the voltage within a range of about 1.0 volt (1000 mV) if the exhaust is rich to as low as 0.10 volt (100 mV) if the exhaust is lean.

The Vehicle Control Module (VCM) supplies a reference voltage of approximately 0.45 volts (450 mV) to the Heated Oxygen sensor (HO2S) on the HO2S High signal circuit. When the Heated Oxygen sensor is cold, less than 200°C (392°F), the Heated Oxygen sensor signal voltage will read around 0.45 volt, and the VCM will keep the system in an Open Loop operation. When the Heated Oxygen sensor is warm, above 200°C (392°F), the Heated Oxygen sensor will swing from rich to lean rapidly, at least 1 swing every 2 seconds, if the VCM is in control of the air fuel mixture. This DTC sets if the Oxygen sensor is slow to respond to changes in the exhaust oxygen content.

When the HO2S temperature is below 360°C (600°F), the sensor will not produce any voltage and will behave like an open circuit. This will result in an Open Loop operation.

The HO2S heater provides for a faster sensor warm-up. This allows the sensor to become active in a shorter period of time and remain active during a long extended idle.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

O2 Diagnostic Enable

* Lean to Rich switches to less than 50 in 100 seconds
* Rich to Lean switches to less than 50 in 100 seconds
* There are no Throttle Position (TP) sensor DTCs
* There are no EVAP sensor DTCs
* There are no Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor DTCs
* There are no Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor DTCs
* There are no Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor DTCs
* There are no Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor DTCs
* No Misfire DTCs
* There is no intrusive test in progress
* No device controls are active
* The system voltage is at least 9.0 volts

Response Test Enable

* Lean to Rich switches to less than 50 in 100 seconds
* Rich to Lean switches to less than 50 in 100 seconds
* Closed Loop
* Closed loop low MAP is not active
* DTCs P0131, P0132, P0134, and P0135 are not active
* The ECT is greater than 57°C (134°F)
* The engine run time is greater than 75 seconds
* The MAF is at least 15 g/s and no more than 55 g/s
* The engine speed is at least 1100 RPM and no more than 3000 RPM
* The EVAP canister purge duty cycle is at least 0%
* The above conditions are met for a time greater than 2 seconds

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

The VCM turns the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ON after 2 consecutive test failures.

The VCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The Freeze Frame and Failure Records store this information.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

* The VCM turns the MIL OFF after 3 consecutive drive trips when the test has Run and Passed and not Failed.
* A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles (coolant temperature has risen 22°C (40°F) from the startup coolant temperature and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 70°C (160°F) during the same ignition cycle).
* Use the scan tool Clear Information function.
* Disconnect the VCM battery feed for 30 seconds.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

IMPORTANT: Never solder the HO2S wires. For proper wire and connector repairs, refer to Wiring Repairs in Electrical Diagrams.

Check for the following conditions:

* An improperly installed air intake duct
* The air intake duct for collapsed ducting, restrictions, or a missing or plugged air filter
* Throttle body and intake manifold vacuum leaks
* A damaged or blocked throttle body inlet
* Exhaust system for corrosion, leaks, or loose or missing hardware
* The HO2S is installed securely and the pigtail harness is not contacting the exhaust manifold or wires
* HO2S contamination
* The vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper connections
* Excessive water, alcohol, or other contaminants in the fuel
* VCM sensor grounds that are clean, tight, and properly positioned

TEST DESCRIPTION

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table.

2. Diagnose other DTCs first because they may have set this DTC.
3. With the engine running warm, coolant at least 85°C (185°F) and at fast idle, the HO2S voltage should rapidly swing above 0.60 volts and below 0.30 volts.

5. This step checks to see if the Oxygen sensor voltage is swinging between rich and lean very slowly or not at all.

8. This step checks for causes of the HO2S failure. If the sensor is replaced without finding the cause of the contamination, the replacement sensor may become contaminated.
