DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy Case 1
  • Signal plausibility with rich mixture (during catalyst purge after fuel cut-off)
  1. Poor connection or damaged harness
  2. HO2S contamination
Case 2
  • Signal plausibility with lean mixture (during fuel cut-off)
Enable Conditions Case 1
  • Coolant temperature > 73°C (163°F)
  • Downstream O2 sensor operative readiness detected
  • Downstream O2 sensor pre-heating phase finished
  • 4g < Integrated Mass Air Flow in last Fuel Cut-Off
  • Downstream O2 sensor signal at end of last fuel cut off < 0.3V
  • Integrated air mass flow in Part Load > 150g
  • Minimum upstream O2 sensor voltage during Catalyst Purge phase > 0.6V
  • Modeled catalyst temperature > 400°C (752°F)
  • No relevant failure
  • 11V< Battery voltage < 16V
Case 2
  • Downstream O2 sensor operative readiness detected
  • Downstream O2 sensor pre-heating phase finished
  • 12g < Integrated mass air flow since fuel cut-off begin < 250g
  • No relevant failure
  • 10V < Battery voltage < 16V
Threshold Value Case 1
  • Max. downstream HO2S < 0.6V during catalyst purge after fuel cut-off
Case 2
  • Downstream HO2S > 0.3V during fuel cut-off phase
Diagnostic Time Case 1
  • 3 valid fuel cut-off followed by catalyst enrichment phases
Case 2
  • 5 seconds
MIL On Condition
  • 2 Drive Cycles
