First, I wouldn't let that guy work on your car. P1133 is "O2 Sensor Slow Response - Sensor 1" Anybody that has been in the auto repair business for more than a week should know that Sensor 1 is ALLWAYS the FRONT sensor.
Note: O2 sensor codes do not necessarily mean that an O2 sensor needs to be replaced. Most O2 Sensor codes are caused by something other than the O2 Sensor itself. (there are several different possible O2 Sensor codes for your car. P0131, P0132, P0133, P0134, P0138, P0171, P0172, P1133, P1134)
The most likely cause of DTC (Diagnostic TroubleCode) P1133 is contamination of the O2 Sensor. Replacing a contaminated O2 Sensor without repairing the source of the contamination will only result in a repeat repair. It could be caused by bad fuel, improper use of RTV sealant, engine oil or engine coolant. I have seen this caused many times by engine oil leaks that run down the exhaust and clog the holes in the side of the sensor shield. (The sensor must "breathe" to work properly)
Then on the other hand, if your vehicle has a lot of miles on it, the sensor could be just chemically worn out. In any case, the FRONT sensor is the one that is setting the code.

If you look up the code definition for P1133, you will find that the code definition is "Sensor 1 Bank 1"...genius.
now see if the customer knows exactly what sensor 1 bank 1 means genius.you need to put it in terms they can understand also in his statement he was asking if there was a way for him to know which sensor it might be i understand that to mean he may want to change his own sensor and save money genius.

Yes It sounds right A cheap code scanner will bring up the codes but will not tell you which side its on while a more expensive scanner will tell you what bank its on ( either left side or right side) and upstream or down stream (before or after the catalytic converter) have it coded again with a better scanner and be sure they tell you wich side and before or after the catalytic converter.
A P1133 is a P1133 on ANY code reader - there is no need to re-scan. What the man needs is someone that knows what to do with the code he has.
yes right but a p1133 is o2 sensor but which one? how would you know which one it is if the only thing it says is o2 sensor that was the reason to get the rescan to find out which one it was genius.
If you look up the code definition for P1133, you will find that the code definition is "Sensor 1 Bank 1"...genius. The code definition is not going to change becase of what scanner you are using to retrieve the code.
I say again: The man allready has the code. What he needs is someone who knows what to do with it. If the person working on the car does not have sense enough to look up the code definition, I wouldn't let him work on my bicycle!
What-ever dude. I don't do this so I can spar with you. I do this to help educate the asker to his problem. You may be right about maybe telling him which one it is, however, did you bother to read my statement? It is highly unlikely that the O2 sensor needs to be replaced. So, if I tell him which one to replace and the code just comes back again, then how did I help him? I would have only helped him to waste good money that he could have used to get the vehicle diagnosed properly. I'll just sit here and be comfortable knowing that the customer gave my solution the higher rating.
