Some Dodge Challenger owners report experiencing persistent trouble code HOO33, also known as P0133, which indicates an issue with the response time of the oxygen (O2) sensor. This code often arises from problems with the O2 sensor, which is vital for the engine control module (ECM) to measure oxygen levels in the exhaust and maintain the ideal air/fuel mixture. Many owners find that replacing a faulty sensor can resolve the issue, as a bad or shorted sensor frequently triggers the code. However, it is crucial to ensure that the new sensor functions correctly to effectively address the root cause. If the HOO33 code continues to appear even after replacement, further diagnostics may be needed to uncover any additional underlying issues contributing to the problem.
