Abnormality Judgment

Judge that the fuel system malfunction occurs when the time during completing the malfunction criteria below continues 50 seconds or more by comparing the diagnosed value (fsobd) with threshold value.

Judgment Value 

JUDGMENT VALUE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
fsobd = (sglmd - tglmda) + faf + flaf < fsobdR 1
where, See Map 4
sglmd = measured lambda fsobdR 1 = rich side threshold value of fsobd
tglmda = target lambda  
faf = main feedback compensation coefficient (every 64 milliseconds)  
flaf = main feedback learning compensation coefficient  

Map 4 Threshold value for fuel system malfunction criteria for System E 

THRESHOLD VALUE CHART

Amount of air [g (oz)/s] 0(0) 3.2 (0.113) 6.4 (0.226) 9.6 (0.339) 12.8 (0.451) 11.7 (0.413) 19.2 (0.677)
fsobdR 1 (%) -40 -40 -31.2 -26.5 -26.5 -26.5 -26.5

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  10 seconds x 5 times

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
