- The engine speed is within 150 RPM of the desired idle.
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 70-125°C (158-257°F).
- The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa.
- The vehicle is in Closed Loop.
- The intake air temperature (IAT) is between -20.5 and +80°C (-5 and +176°F).
- The battery voltage is more than 11 volts.
- The engine run time is more than 10 minutes.
- The vehicle speed is less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- The engine load must be stable.
- The number of test attempts per trip is less than 12.
- The predicted catalyst temperature is between 475-675°C (887-1247°F).
- Test the catalyst by performing the following procedures:
- Drive the vehicle, engine speed above 1,500 RPM, for at least 60 seconds.
- Idle the engine and keep the vehicle in Drive, or depress the clutch pedal for a manual transmission vehicle, to activate the diagnostic. Within 60 seconds, the air fuel ratio will become rich, below 14.1, for up to 7 seconds, and then may become lean, above 15.3, for up to 7 seconds.
- Verify if DTC P0420 has passed or failed this ignition cycle with the scan tool.
- This diagnostic attempts 1 test during each valid idle period, once the above conditions have been met. This diagnostic attempts up to 12 tests during each drive cycle.
