DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Check Catalyst oxygen storage capacity
  1. Exhaust system
  2. Downstream oxygen sensor
  3. Catalyst converter
  4. Out of range ECT sensor
  5. Exhaust manifold
  6. High fuel pressure
  7. Incorrect connection
  8. Misfire
  9. Injector
  10. EGR system
Enable Conditions
  • Engine speed between 1320 ~ 3000rpm
  • Engine load between 20 ~ 75%
  • Catalyst temperature (model) between 600 ~ 850°C (1112 ~1562°F)
  • Fuel system status: Closed loop
  • Time after engine start greater than 260 seconds
  • Delta temperature of catalyst less than 40°C (104°F)
Threshold Value
  • Ratio of Actual OSC to Model OSC less than 1.0
Diagnostic Time
  • 4 Cycles of Lambda Setpoint steps(Rich to Lean)
MIL On Condition
  • 2 Driving cycle
