Top Makes and Models with DTC P0133

Short-term driving with code P0133—Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1, Sensor 1)—is okay. However, repairs shouldn’t be delayed to avoid more problems, such as catalytic converter or engine damage. Ford, Jeep, and Toyota models are the most at risk, but other brands are also impacted.

Code P0133-related issues impact vehicles from various manufacturers—SUVs, trucks, and passenger cars are all vulnerable. FIXD sensor data reveals that vehicles most likely to experience a P0133 code are:

Below is an expanded look at how a P0133 code affects numerous makes and models. This breakdown covers occurrence rates by model year (2000-2023) and separates the frequency into low, moderate, or high levels. The worst of the worst are the ten vehicles listed above.

What is the P0133 Code?

A P0133 code indicates that an oxygen sensor (Bank 1 Sensor 1) responds too slowly when monitoring exhaust gases. This means the sensor isn’t quickly detecting changes in the exhaust’s oxygen content, which prevents the engine computer from making timely adjustments to the fuel mixture.

Read the complete article on P0133 Engine Code: Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1, Sensor 1) to discover the trouble areas to consider. This resource also offers tips on diagnosing the problem and what a DIYer can do to tackle a P0133 code independently (and when not to).

Top Models for P0133 Codes

Here’s a look at the makes and models most likely to have P0133 codes, according to FIXD sensor data. The absence of a model year ranking indicates no P0133 code was detected among the analyzed years, insufficient data, or the model wasn’t in production.
