P1132 Meaning

The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S for any malfunction or deterioration that could affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream HO2S are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). The downstream HO2S used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from engine coolant temperature (ECT) or cylinder head temperature (CHT), intake air temperature (IAT), mass air flow (MAF), throttle position (TP), and crankshaft position (CKP) to activate the HO2S monitor. The fuel system monitor and misfire detection monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S monitor is activated.
• The HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust stream and delivers a voltage between zero and 1.0 volt. At stoichiometric lean (air/fuel ratio of about 14.7:1 for gasoline engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. At stoichiometric rich, the HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
• The HO2S monitor evaluates both the upstream (fuel control) and downstream (catalyst monitor) HO2S for proper operation.
• Once the HO2S monitor is activated, the upstream HO2S signal voltage amplitude and response frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to a maximum threshold voltage that can be calibrated.
• A fixed frequency closed-loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
• An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a corresponding change in the OSM and
measuring the current through the heater circuit.
• The MIL is activated after detecting a fault on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.

P1132 NISSAN SENTRA – Swirl Control Valve Circuit

When is the Code Detected?

An incorrect voltage signal is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Possible Symptoms

  • Check engine light on (or service engine soon warning light)

P1132 2002 NISSAN SENTRA Meaning

The swirl control valve consists of an actuator and a valve. The valve is installed in the intake manifold and the actuator is connected to the rear end of the valve shaft.
The swirl control valve uses a stepper motor that has four winding phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). Two windings are turned on and off in sequence. Each time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes. When no change in control position is needed, the ECM does not output a pulse signal. A specific voltage signal is output so the valve remains at that particular opening.
