P1131 Diagnostic Trouble Code (13 interpretations)
13 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 12 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
BMW
1 interpretation
Chevrolet
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the signal in the HO2S circuit stayed below the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
Ford
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch Sensor Indicates Lean Bank 1 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- intake/fuel system
- HO2S
- EGR system
- oil level
- camshaft timing
Recommended checks
- Perform a full module scan
- Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
- Compare commanded and measured values
- Check applicable OEM service information
Hyundai
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Fuel Adjustment Resistor circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Hyundai.
Land Rover
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the air-fuel mixture stayed leaner than the target despite full corrective control (Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), upstream, bank 1 - mixture). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
Possible causes
- Intake leak
- fuel pressure low
- injector(s) blocked
- H025
- ECM
Mercedes-Benz
1 interpretationThe control module detected an electrical fault in the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 - signal/ circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mercedes-Benz.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- HO2S
MINI
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Oxygen Sensor Behind Catalytic Converter 2 Ageing circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
Nissan
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Intake manifold air control solenoid. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- intake manifold air control solenoid
- ECM
Subaru
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 - short circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Subaru.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- HO2S
- ECM
Suzuki
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1, bank 1 - output voltage stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Suzuki.
Possible causes
- Wiring short to positive
- HO2S
- ECM
VAG
2 interpretationsThe control module detected that the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1, Bank 1 - heater resistance value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- HO2S
The control module detected that the Oxygen/Lambda Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1: Internal Resistance value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17539. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
Symptoms
