99' Elantra Check Engine Light "code P1128
On the way home from work my check engine light came on so I stopped
at Auto Zone and the manager put the code reader on my car and it said
"p1128 Manufactures controlled air metering" this was all it said so
the manager took the code inside to his computer and entered it and it
said "upstream heated 02 sensors swapped"
Does anyone know what these could mean or what has gone bad?
Thanks

Re: 99' Elantra Check Engine Light
You only have one upstream oxygen sensor on the Elantra, so "upstream
heated 02 sensors swapped"
is not a valid diagnosis.
This code indicates the computer has been supplying more fuel than it
thinks it should have to based on the other sensors' readings. This is a
(somewhat) common problem with 2000-2001 Accents It's okay to reference
the tsb on this issue (01-36-022), but don't use it for diagnosis because
the values will be different than those on an Elantra. If you want a
better understanding of what the code means, tsb 98-36-001 provides a
reasonable amount of information.
What you want to look for is unmetered air entering the engine (meaning it
leaks into the intake without having to go through the air flow sensor).
The primary ways this happens are leaking pcv hoses, intake hoses not
fully attached to the air flow sensor, and intake hoses torn. If there
are no issues with unmetered air, then you probably need a new air flow
sensor.
heated 02 sensors swapped"
is not a valid diagnosis.

Re: 99' Elantra Check Engine Light "code P1128
Any time an OBD-II powertrain code begins with P1xxx it is a
manufacturer-specific code. The database that autozone was pulling from
is probably not hyundai-specific. P1128 could mean something completely
different on say, a GM product, Ford, Chrysler, etc. P0xxx codes are
generally standard across manufacturers.
Might want to check HMA service(www.hmaservice.com) and look at what
the hyundai definitions for your code are.

Thanks for the info, I went to the site and registered but I could not
find the codes anywhere.

Re: 99' Elantra Check Engine Light
Thank you for the help, on the way home today the check engine light
went out, should I still try to find the cause of the code or wait and
see if it comes back on?
