P1131 · FordLack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch Sensor Indicates Lean Bank 1

P1131 on a Ford means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the upstream heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) on bank 1 is not switching between rich and lean as it should, and the sensor signal is stuck indicating a lean condition. The computer is seeing a lean exhaust reading from the pre-catalyst sensor on the bank that contains cylinder number one, and it has set this code because the sensor is not responding to fuel corrections as expected.
