On my '98, the 1135 code means the front O2 sensor ~heater~ has gone
open circuit. I had this happen, and replaced the sensor with a generic
version (required splicing leads) as the dealer didn't feel this was
covered under the emissions warranty. The generic was cheap enough and
the install simple enough that it wasn't worth arguing.

Post mortem on the sensor showed that the connection to the heater
element had broken off at the braze. I think it's a manufacturing
defect...
