Diagnostic Method

After the enable conditions have been established, calculate the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda deviation sum value and the rear oxygen sensor output voltage deviation sum value in every 32 ms x 4 times. If the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda deviation sum value 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
Rear oxygen sensor output voltage deviation sum value/front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda deviation sum value > 12 (CVT model)
> 8.5 (MT model)

Time needed for diagnosis:  30 - 55 seconds

Malfunction indicator light illumination:  Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
