Diagnostic Method

Compare the diagnosed value (fsobd) with the threshold value, and if a condition where the malfunction criteria below are met continues for more than 30 seconds, judge that there is a fault in the fuel system.

Judgment Value 

JUDGMENT VALUE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
fsobd = (sglmd - tglmda) + fan + flat ≥ fsobdL1
where, See MAP 4 THRESHOLD VALUE SPECIFICATION 
sglmd = measured lambda fsobdL1 = lean side
tglmda = target lambda threshold value of fsobd
fan = main feedback compensation coefficient every 64 milliseconds  
flaf = main feedback learning compensation coefficient
