DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Rationality check, Characteristic line shift rich
  • Poor connector connection
  • Faulty upstream O2 sensor
  • Fuel leakage
  • Improper fuel pressure
  • Restricted intake system
Enable Conditions Case 1
  • Stable driving condition
  • Battery voltage is at between 10 and 16V
  • Catalyst purge after fuel cut off not active
  • Upstream O2 sensor operative readiness
  • Downstream O2 sensor operative readiness
  • Active test not activated
  • Engine speed is higher than 600 RPM
  • Mass air flow is lower than 83g/s (300kg/h)
  • Exhaust gas temperature is at between 572°F (300°C) and 1472°F (800°C)
Case 2
  • Fuel cut off not active
  • Full load not active (Accel pedal value is higher than 90%)
  • Catalyst overheating protection not active (Catalyst model temperature is lower than 950°C (1742°F))
  • Battery voltage is at between 10 and 16V
Threshold Value Case 1
  • Plausibility between upstream and downstream
  • Upstream lambda value is lower than 0.9 and downstream O2 signal voltage is lower than 0.05V
Case 2
  • Lambda value is lower than 1.05
Diagnostic Time Case 1
  • 5 to 100s (Depending on intake air mass)
Case 2
  • 10s after lambda set-point shift to corresponding side
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
