DTC P0139 | Rear HO2S circuit slow response
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • The PCM monitors the rear HO2S inversion cycle period, lean-to-rich response time and rich-to-lean response time when under the open loop fuel control (fuel cut off control). If the average response time is more than the specification, the PCM determines that the rear HO2S circuit response is slow. Diagnostic support note • This is an intermittent monitor (HO2S). • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available. • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Purge solenoid valve malfunction • Looseness of rear HO2S • Leakage exhaust gas • Rear HO2S malfunction • Fuel line pressure malfunction • Leakage fuel • Fuel pump unit malfunction • AIR system malfunction • Leakage engine coolant • PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 | VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related service repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available? | Yes | Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No | Go to the next step.
3 | VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTC • Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (Engine off). • Verify the related PENDING CODE or stored DTCs. • Is the DTC P0443 also present? | Yes | Go to the DTC P0443 inspection. (See DTC P0443.)
No | Go to the next step.
4 | IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA • Is DTC P0139 on FREEZE FRAME DATA? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Go to the FREEZE FRAME DATA DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE.)
5 | VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS OF REAR HO2S • Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2. • Start the engine and warm it up completely. • Access the O2S12 PID. • Read the O2S12 PID under following accelerator pedal conditions (in PARK or NEUTRAL). – More than 0.55 V when suddenly depress accelerator pedal (rich condition). – Less than 0.55 V just after release of accelerator pedal (lean condition). • Is the PID normal? | Yes | Go to Step 8.
No | Go to the next step.
6 | INSPECT INSTALLATION OF REAR HO2S • Inspect the rear HO2S for looseness. • Is it normal? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Tighten the rear HO2S, then go to Step 14. (See REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
7 | INSPECT EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE • Visually inspect exhaust gas leakage in the exhaust system. • Is there exhaust gas leakage? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 14.
No | Replace the rear HO2S, then go to Step 14. (See REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
8 | INSPECT LONG TERM FUEL TRIM • Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2. • Access the LONGFT1 PID. • Compare the LONGFT1 PID with recorded FREEZE FRAME DATA at Step 1. • Is the LONGFT1 PID below FREEZE FRAME DATA? | Yes | Engine is driven under rich condition. Go to the next step.
No | Engine is driven under lean condition. Go to Step 10.
9 | INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE (EXCESSIVE FUEL LINE PRESSURE) • Perform the "FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION". (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results. Then go to the Step 14.
No | Go to the next step.
10 | INSPECT FUEL LINE PRESSURE (LOW FUEL LINE PRESSURE) • Perform the "FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION". (See FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Go to step 12.
11 | INSPECT FUEL SYSTEM FOR FUEL LEAKAGE • Visually inspect fuel leakage in the fuel system. • Is there fuel leakage? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 14.
No | Replace the fuel pump unit, then go to Step 14. (See FUEL PUMP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
12 | INSPECT AIR SYSTEM OPERATION • Perform the "AIR System Inspection". (See Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Inspection.) • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, according to inspection results. Then go to Step 14.
No | Go to the next step.
13 | INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT PASSAGE FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE • Perform the "ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION". (See ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION.) • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results. Then go to the next step.
No | Go to the next step.
14 | VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0139 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. • Perform the DRIVE MODE 1 and 3. (See OBD DRIVE MODE.) • Is the PENDING CODE same as the DTC present? | Yes | Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Go to the next step.
15 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.) • Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE.)
No | DTC troubleshooting completed.
