Upstream O2 sensor monitor: Description: Notes

The upstream sensor will cause an emission increase when its response time increases too much (A/F Loop period or frequency check).

The period of the A/F loop is measured and the number of lean/rich transitions are counted. The sum of valid periods is then calculated.

The corresponding limit period versus operating point is acquired.

A failure is detected when the sum of the measured periods exceeds the sum of the corresponding limit.

Description of the strategy

O2 sensor monitoring is a sequential diagnosis made during steady state conditions.

The diagnosis is composed of two main phases:
