A code P0135 may mean that one or more of the following has happened on Bank 1, Sensor 1:
•O2 Heater element resistance is high
•Internal short or open in the heater element
•O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
•open or short to ground in the wiring harness

Possible Solutions:
•Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors
•Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)

A code P0155 is same issue as above only it affects Bank 2, Sensor 1

A code P0172 basically means that an oxygen sensor in Bank 1 detected a rich condition (too little oxygen in the exhaust).

Possible solutions include:

Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
Clean the MAF sensor. Consult your service manual for its location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling
Inspect fuel lines for cracks, leaks, or pinches
Check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail
Check the fuel injectors, they may be dirty. Use fuel injector cleaner or get them professionally cleaned/replaced.
Check for an exhaust leak before the first oxygen sensor (this is unlikely to cause the problem, but it is possible)

A code P0304 simply means a misfire was detect on cylinder #4

My jeepliberty will crank but not fire. error code 135 BANK 1 AND 155 BANK 2?

If they are codes P0135 and P0155 they refer to both O2 sensors nearest the engine on the exhaust. The ones before the catalytic converter on each exhaust pipe.
P0135 = O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0155 = O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1

I had all these codes come up and i dont know what they mean. Dont think its good. P1747,P0743,P0750,.P0755 ,P0760, P0765 P1451,P0133, P0135, P0141. P0153, P0155,P0161, P1409, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0171....

looks like most of you trouble is the "oxygen sensor". it in the exhaust pipe, about $25 PLUS. Changing it may very well help most of your other code problems, I would start there, it is a simple fix, you then need to clear all codes and see what comes up after replacement. You may come out very lucky.
P01747 is transmission pressure control solenoid P01451Lack of Response From Passive Anti-Theft System Module - Engine Disabled P0743Torque Converter Clutch System Electrical failure.
Do the Oxygen Sensor first as go from there.
Good luck

I'm thinking about buying a 2002 range rover. It has a service/check engine codes of 134,135,155. Is it likely to be more than oxygen sensor problems? Please reply , Mel

with those codes showing, it could be either bad O2 sensors or there is a problem with the wiring to those sensors. Also, the wrong sensors may be installed. I'm assuming codes P0134, P0135, P0155.

For others viewing this:

P0134 = O2 sensor circuit-no activity detected (bank 1 sensor 1)

P0135 = O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1)

P0155 = O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 2 sensor 1)
