Service Engine light refuses to go off. Fault Code P0134, states O2 sensor CKT Inactive (Bank 1 Sensor 1). Had already replaced this sensor with a Bosch, mechanic cut off plug from harness and wired in per directions. Rewired in different combinations, light still on. Different opinions for solution: 1. Can only use a Mitsubishi part, Bosch won't work. Buy Mitsubishi, wire it in since plug gone. 2. Still wired incorrectly. Bosch should work. 3. Need Mitsubishi part AND plug. Won't pass inspection 'till this light stays off, what's with the O2 sensor? Could I just have a faulty one which needs to be replaced or is it the wiring or is it the product or what? No one seems to agree and I am feeling crazy at this point. Please HELP!

    Is this how I thank csmock132? Will try your suggestion and no matter what, I really appreciate your help. Will report the outcome.

    Can't afford the OE one, told that universal one should work if it's wired correctly. Will get the wiring diagram and do it myself, I might need help understanding the directions. Since the Fault Code states O2 sensor CKT Inactive (Bank 1 Sensor 1), can this be translated to mean that the wires are not connecting somewhere? Is that what the "Inactive" means? Plan to call Bosch on Monday to double-check that the universal will work with this car so long as it's installed correctly and that the OE might be preferable but if it's not affordable, I should be able to make do with what I have. Love this site. Glad I have my radio code written down and happy to find out what that darn clicking noise was all about (one more things to fix). Thanks to all.

You can use a bosch, but not the universal one. Use the bosch one that is OE design.

    I haven't had any luck with the universal sensors. The two white wires are for the heater, The black is the sensor ground and the grey is the wire that the computer reads

I'm thinking about buying a 2002 range rover. It has a service/check engine codes of 134,135,155. Is it likely to be more than oxygen sensor problems? Please reply , Mel

with those codes showing, it could be either bad O2 sensors or there is a problem with the wiring to those sensors. Also, the wrong sensors may be installed. I'm assuming codes P0134, P0135, P0155.

For others viewing this:

P0134 = O2 sensor circuit-no activity detected (bank 1 sensor 1)

P0135 = O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1)

P0155 = O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 2 sensor 1)

I have a 1996 honda passport V6, the car was scanned and found code p0134. the car runs but after a few minutes of warming the car stalls and backfires runs terrible what can cause those type of problems

This code refers to the front oxygen sensor on Bank 1. Basically the oxygen sensor is inactive.

DTC P0134 - 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank I Sensor 1)

The powertrain control module (PCM) provides a baseline voltage of about 450 mV on the oxygen sensor signal circuit. When cold, the PCM detects the the internal resistance of the sensor is high. As the sensor warms up the resistance is lowered and it starts producing voltage based on the oxygen content in the exhaust. When the PCM determines that the time it took for the sensor to warm up is greater than one minute or that the voltage is inactive (not reading outside 391-491 mV it views the sensor as inactive or open and sets the P0134 code.

Potential Symptoms: One or more of the following may occur:
* Check engine light illumination
* Poorly running/engine missing
* Blowing black smoke
* Poor fuel economy
* Dying, stuttering

Causes: A code P0134 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* Bad O2 (oxygen) sensor
* Bad heater circuit in the O2 sensor
* Wiring or connector to the sensor frayed / broken
* Blown heater circuit fuse
* Holes in the exhaust system
* PCM failure

Possible Solutions: The most common fix is to replace the oxygen sensor. But that doesn't rule out the possibility of:
* Rusted exhaust pipe
* Inspect wiring & connector(s) for problems
* Excessive amperage blowing heater fuse (still requires replacement of sensor but also replacement of blown fuse)
* Replace PCM (only as last resort after all other possibilities are covered.


Hope helps (remember rated and comment this).

Honda trouble code P0134-P0135

I found the codes on a site for the EX model.

Indicates to me that the O2 sensor is in need of replacement.

P134, p0141, po300, po130 and po135. 2005 Sunfire.

Given that most of the trouble codes are for the O2 sensor, I think I would change it. The multiple misfires could be because of improper fuel/air mixture caused by a bad sensor. Disconnect the negative(-) battery terminal then change the sensor. Disconnecting the negative(-) should reset the computer and allow the fuel/air mixture to return to default allowing the engine to start.

Engine light came on - yellow. Code: P0134 02

there is either a problem with the wiring going to the front oxygen sensor, or with the oxygen sensor itself. good luck!

P0134 Error Code

The code refers to an oxygen sensor that is no longer detecting changes in fuel delivery by way of sensing exhaust oxygen content. Bank 1, sensor 1, tells you which sensor is bad, in this case, it's the sensor that is mounted before the catalytic converter, on the rear bank of cylinders as you look into the engine compartment. It would really be a good idea to change both pre-cat O2 sensors at this point as they are both twelve years old.
