Diagnostic Method

After the enable conditions have been established, calculate the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda value deviation sum value (Σ |(sglmdn - sglmdn - 1 )|), and rear oxygen sensor output voltage deviation sum value (Σ |(ro2sadn - ro2sadn - 1 )|) in every 32 ms X 4 times. If the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda value deviation sum value (Σ |(sglmdn - sglmdn - 1 )|) is the predetermined value or more, calculate the diagnostic value. If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is within the time indicated, judge as NG.

JUDGMENT VALUE SPECIFICATION

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  30 - 55 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
