Do you have the 6-cyl or the 8-cylinder model? The P0135 code is for an upstream O2 sensor. The 6 cylinder has one up near the exhaust manifold and another (downstream) sensor just after the catalytic converter. The 8-cylinder has two upstream sensors, one on either side of the engine near the manifolds, and one by the catalyst. Be sure you located and replaced the correct upstream sensor. If that is not the problem, the issue could be the wiring harness going to the sensor. They run very close to the manifolds and often get damaged. Inspect the wiring leading back from the sensor to the PCM for melted and exposed wiring. IF you find some, you may be able to patch it, but often you must cut out the bad and replace the section with a new connector end. The sensor signal is relatively low voltage and doesn't handle damage wiring well.

SOURCE: Code #P0171 & code #P0174

The most common problem on a Ford with these codes is deteriorated PCV hoses. Check the hoses from the PCV valve to the intake manifold. Pay special attention to the rubber elbows. They often crack on the inside curve and the crack is hard to see.

SOURCE: P0401. P0133, P1131- emmision test

Based on what the tech manuals say I would change the DPFE sensor for the EGR Valve, careful not to tear the special silicone rubber hoses that go to it from the exhaust, as a Ford dealer tech I saw these codes allot, and the DPFE sensor was almost always the issue or the hoses going to it.

SOURCE: O2 sensor problem

I have a 97 gmc sierra .This truck is the same as the chevy ok.Its a 350 5.7 liter 4x4 Z71.I took it to auto zone which was my first mistake.They put it the scanner and said bad O2 sensor.Ok so which one is it i said.They dont know.Well there four (4) O2 sensors in this truck i hope you know that.I had to replace all four of them before i had to take it to a real shop.It seems the fuel pump i replaced a week earlier with an auto zone fuel pump was bad.Ive changed my feul pump 4 times now and have 235000 miles on still running.You need to get your fuel pressure checked.It should be 65 psi to start it and 55 psi to run it.If the pressures are good it could be a different O2 sensor or maybe the mass air flow senor.My last option would be the fuel pressure regulator because it seems to be a waste of time and money.I would get that fuel pressue checked first.Good luck.

It NEVER was the camshaft sensor! Unless, you've removed the engine lately, which I doubt.
RUN to Advance Auto Parts and buy a can of "SeaFoam" and add to your gas tank per instructions...drive at least 100 miles and the problem should go away...IF it doesn't you'll have to replace the O2 sensors in the exhaust system...Any good mechanic should be able to do this for much less $$ than the dealership DO NOT go to the dealer for repairs!
Good Luck

WORKING ON 2005 CHEVY COLORADO 3.5, SEVERAL CODES, P0030, P0036, P0135, P0141, ODD ALL O2 SENSOR CODES, ANY HING COMMON

Yes there is something in common . Check the fuse # 79 10amp in the underhood fuse box . For O2 sensor , heater power .
The PCM commands the heater ON or OFF to maintain a specific HO2S operating temperature range. The PCM monitors the voltage on the HO2S heater low control circuit for heater fault diagnosis. If the PCM detects that the HO2S heater low control circuit voltage is not within a specified range, DTC P0030 sets for HO2S 1, or DTC P0036 sets for HO2S 2.
So this is not in spec. an it set the other codes !
If the PCM detects that the heater current or the heater calculated resistance is not within an expected range, DTC P0135 sets for HO2S 1
If the PCM detects that the heater current or the heater calculated resistance is not within an expected range, DTC P0141 sets for HO2S 2.

How to Diagnose a P0135 -Heater
Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1 (GM 3.5L)
January 31, 2012 Updated: October 29, 2014 Written by: Abraham Torres-Arredondo Article Id: 371

image_1.gifIf your check engine light is on and you have a diagnostic trouble code P0135 stored in the PCM's memory... then you've come to the right place to test and troubleshoot the upstream oxygen sensor.
A P0135 DTC says: HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1... and this means that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module = Fuel Injection Computer) has detected a problem with the front oxygen sensor's heater element or a problem in the heater's circuit (wires).
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to check the oxygen (O2) sensor's heater element and the two circuits that feed it with power (10 to 12 Volts) and ground with a multimeter.
In case you're wondering, where the oxygen (O2) sensor that the code P0135 is accusing of being BAD is... this bad boy is located on the exhaust manifold and before the catalytic converter.
To help you navigate this article, here are its main points:
  1. Symptoms of a BAD Oxygen Sensor Heater Element.
  2. What Tools Do I Need to Test Code P0135?
  3. What Does the Heater Inside the Oxygen Sensor Do?

  5. Start Here.
  6. TEST 1: Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 Test.
  7. TEST 2: Checking 12 Volts to O2 Heater.
  8. TEST 3: Checking the O2 Heater's Ground Circuit.

    Why the codes po125 & po135 &po155 keep coming back?

    Hi there:

    DTC P0125 - Insufficient Coolant Temperature For Closed Loop Fuel Control

    The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
    If the code comes back, the problem is likely going to be the result of the above causes (faulty thermostat, faulty ECT sensor, or a low coolant level).


    DTC P0135 - Oxygen O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
    or
    DTC P0155 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

    A code P0135 and P0155 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

    • O2 Heater element resistance is high
    • Internal short or open in the heater element
    • O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
    • open or short to ground in the wiring harness

    In order to solve just...
  • Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors
  • Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)


  • Hopoe this helps.

    Solution for 1999 chevy cavalier code p0440

    There has been a service bulletin isued for that code. I have run into this before, also the wires comming out of the connector. That would bethe first thing to check. Here is what the bulletin states. Emissions - SES Lamp ON/DTC P0440 (EVAP) SetNotesFile In Section: 06 - Engine/Propulsion SystemBulletin No.: 02-06-04-044Date: August, 2002TECHNICALSubject: Service Engine Soon (SES) Light Illuminated, DTC P0440 Set (Replace Fuel Tank Evaporative Emissions Control System (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Harness) Models: 2000-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier2000-2002 Pontiac Sunfire ConditionSome customers may comment that the SES light is/was illuminated.A technician may find DTC P0440 is stored in the PCM.CauseThe EVAP solenoid harness may be misrouted around the rear antilock brake (ABS) wire harness causing a chaff/damage to the EVAP vent solenoid harness, setting DTC P0440.CorrectionFollow the service procedure below to diagnose and correct this condition.1. Install a Tech 2 scan tool and select the appropriate vehicle. Verify that a DTC P0440 is stored in the PCM. 2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information (SI Document ID # XXXXX).

    4_9_2012_3_31_41_pm.gif

    Locate and inspect the EVAP vent solenoid harness (3) routing. The harness may be routed below the ABS wiring harness (4) at the right rear corner of the fuel tank, causing stress on the EVAP solenoid harness (3).



    4_9_2012_3_32_10_pm.gif

    4.Disconnect the EVAP vent solenoid harness (3) from the EVAP vent solenoid (2) and connector C313 (1). Discard the EVAP vent solenoid harness (3).


    5.Connect the new EVAP vent solenoid harness (3), P/N 22687059, to the EVAP vent solenoid (2), route the harness above the rear ABS harness (4) and connect the EVAP vent solenoid harness (3) to connector C313 (1).


    6.Lower the vehicle.


    7.Clear the DTC's with the Tech 2 scan tool.



    If all of the wires are good you will want to check for any leaks in the evap system.



    Hope helps.

    Why m I getting this codes p0135 and p0138

    P0135 is 02 heater circuit ( Bank 1, sensor 1 ). P0138 is 02 circuit high voltage ( Bank 1, sensor 2). It is a good idea to replace all 4, 02 sensors at the same time, otherwise the 2 new 02 sensors on bank #1 will be transmitting Data back to the computer at a faster rate then the old ones on bank #2 And this could cause other problems. Remember to have the codes cleared from the computer after all repairs are finished. If you do not the computer will keep turning on the check engine light.
    -also that way if the light ever comes on again you already know it will be for something new.Good Luck and have a good XMASS.
