General Information: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause  
Case 1) DTC Strategy
  • Signal plausibility during fuel cut off
  • Related fuse blown or missing
  • Contact resistance in connectors
  • HO2S contamination
Enable Conditions
  • O2 sensor operative readiness
  • Nominal heating phase
  • Fuel cut-off phase
  • 20 g (0.04 lb) < Integrated mass air flow since begin < 60 g (0.13 lb)
  • No relevant failure
  • Battery voltage > 10V
 
Threshold Value
  • Voltage during fuel cut off phase > 0.2V
Diagnostic Time
  • 1 sec. continuous
Case 2) DTC Strategy
  • Signal stuck check (Rationality check)
 
Enable Conditions
  • O2 sensor operative readiness
  • Nominal heating phase
  • Catalyst temperature model > 350°C (662°F)
  • Integrated MAF in fuel cut-off > 18 g (0.039 lb)
  • Integrated MAF after fuel cut-off > 40 g (0.088 lb)
  • No relevant failure
  • Battery voltage > 10V
 
Threshold Value
  • Signal voltage increase < 10mV (between fuel cut-off and after fuel cut-off)
Diagnostic Time
  • 20 sec. continuous
