Diagnostic Method 1
Detect the malfunction depending on the average value of time necessary for A to inverse the air fuel ratio from "Lean → Rich → Lean" to "Rich → Lean → Rich".
Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.
JUDGMENT VALUE SPECIFICATION
| Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value | DTC |
|---|---|---|
| Average value of time necessary for A to inverse the air fuel ratio to Lean → Rich → Lean | >190 ms | P015A |
| and | ||
| Average value when A is lean | >250 ms | |
| Average value of time necessary for λ to inverse the air fuel ratio to Rich → Lean → Rich | >70 ms | P015B |
| and | ||
| Average value when λ is rich | >150 ms |
Time needed for diagnosis: 90 seconds
Malfunction indicator light illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
