Diagnostic Method
When TWC performance falls, OSC performance also falls. In the diagnosis, malfunction will be detected with estimation of OSC performance by observing the time and air amount, etc. until the rear oxygen sensor voltage starts to rise after more than predetermined time of deceleration fuel cut has passed.
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is within the time indicated, judge as NG.
JUDGMENT VALUE SPECIFICATION
