    Secondary Parameters Enable Conditions
    None  
  4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE 

    Always perform the diagnosis continuously.

  5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD 

    Judge NG when the continuous time of completing the malfunction criteria below becomes more than 5 seconds.

    Judgment Value 

    JUDGMENT VALUE CHART

    Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
    Voltage "GREATER THAN EQUAL TO" 10.9 V
    Time after engine starting v 50 seconds
    Cumulative amount of front lambda sensor heater control duty every 128 milli seconds "GREATER THAN EQUAL TO" 28000%
    Front O2 (A/F) sensor impedance "GREATER THAN EQUAL TO" 500 Ω:

    Time Needed for Diagnosis:  5 seconds

    Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates as soon as the malfunction occurs.

  6. DTC CLEAR CONDITION 
    • When the OK idling cycle was completed 40 times in a row
    • When "Clear Memory" was performed
  7. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITION 
    • When the OK driving cycle was completed 3 times in a row
    • When "Clear Memory" was performed
  8. FAIL SAFE 
    • Front oxygen (A/F) sensor activation judgment: Front oxygen (A/F) sensor full activation is not complete, or front oxygen (A/F) sensor half activation is not complete.
    • A/F main learning: Not allowed to calculate the A/F main learning compensation factor.
    • Compensation when starting the engine at high temperature: Make the MIN value to be 0 from 0.3 normally.
    • Purge control: Not allowed to purge.
  9. ECM OPERATING AT DTC SETTING 

    Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
