DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy Case1
  • Plausibility (Characteristic line strong shift to rich)
  • Poor connector connection
  • HO2S (bank1, sensor1)
  • Blocking of intake system
  • Fuel leakage in injector
  • Improper fuel pressure
Case2
  • Plausibility (Characteristic line middle shift to rich)
Enable Condition Case1
  • Normal auxiliary battery voltage (11 to 16V)
  • Sensor ceramic temperature is greater than 640°C (1184°F)
  • Sensor element resistance is less than 1kΩ
  • Engine speed is greater than 600rpm
  • Catalyst temperature (model) is between 300 and 800°C (572 to 1472° F)
  • Active test not activated
  • Canister purge after fuel cut off not active
  • Mass air flow is less than 83g/sec
  • Sensor operative readiness detected
  • Stable driving condition
    • When the difference between the actual engine speed and the filtered engine speed is less than 500rpm
    • When the difference between the actual intake air and the filtered intake air is less than 0.4g/rev
    • When the difference between the actual lambda value and the filtered lambda value is less than 15%
Case2
  • Normal auxiliary battery voltage (11 to 16V)
  • Fuel cut off not active
  • Full load not active
  • Long term fuel trim value is less than -0.065
  • Catalyst temperature (model) is less than 960°C (1760°F)
Threshold Value Case1
  • When the air flow mass value accumulated after meeting the following conditions reaches 300g
    • Oxygen sensor (B1/S1) lambda value less than 0.7 (rich)
    • Oxygen sensor (B1/S2) signal voltage value is less than 0.05V (lean)
Case2
  • Oxygen sensor (B1/S1) lambda value is less than 1.05 (when the lambda target value is 1.15)
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
