If you are experiencing a P0134 error code in your vehicle, don’t worry! This article will provide you with two practical solutions to fix the error code at home.
First, use the Zeus app to scan your vehicle and identify the error code P0134. This code is triggered when your vehicle’s oxygen sensor bank one sensor one is malfunctioning.
Method A: MAF Sensor
The MAF (Mass Airflow) sensor is located between the air filter and the throttle body. Carefully remove the MAF sensor from your car and inspect the wire inside. It often gets dirty and may need to be cleaned. Use MAF sensor cleaner to spray the wire perpendicularly to the ground to avoid damaging the sensor. Once dry, reinstall the MAF sensor back in the car.
Method B: The Oxygen Sensor
The oxygen sensor is located right before the catalytic converter. Visually check the oxygen sensor’s electrical connections, wire harness, and metal tabs for any damages. If any damages are found, replace the oxygen sensor. Bank one sensor one is usually the one in the exhaust manifold.
After performing the repair, you can use the Zeus app to clear the error code and ensure that everything is functioning properly.
