DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • Response rate check at entry in fuel cut-off (Rich-to-Lean)
  1. Leak in intake or exhaust system
  2. Faulty fuel system
  3. Front and rear HO2S connections reversed
  4. Poor connection or damaged harness
  5. HO2S contamination
Enable Conditions
  • Downstream O2 sensor operative readiness is detected
  • Downstream O2 sensor internal resistance is smaller than 3000Ω
  • Catalyst temperature (model) is greater than 200°C (392°F)
  • Downstream O2 sensor signal at entry into fuel cut-off is higher than 0.6V
  • Battery voltage is between 11V and 16V
Threshold Value
  • Average of sensor signal gradient is lower than 1500mV/sec.
  • Signal gradient from 0.6V to 0.3V at entry in fuel cut-off is out of range
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Response rate check after leaving fuel cut-off (Lean-to-Rich)
Enable Conditions
  • Downstream O2 sensor operative readiness is detected
  • Mass air flow integral after leaving fuel cut-off is bigger than 100g
  • Catalyst temperature (model) is higher than 400°C (752°F)
  • Exhaust gas temperature (model) at sensor location is higher than 3000°C (572°F)
  • O2 sensor internal resistance is smaller than 3000Ω
  • Battery voltage is between 11V and 16V
Threshold Value
  • Downstream O2S voltage is lower than 1500mV/sec.
  • Signal gradient from 0.3V to 0.6V after leaving in fuel cut off is out of range
Diagnostic Time
  • 3 valid fuel cut-off phases
MIL On Condition
  • 2 Driving Cycles
