Diagnostic Method 1
Detect the malfunction depending on the average value of time necessary for λ 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 - P015A SPECIFICATION
| Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
|---|---|
| Average value of time necessary for λ to inverse the air fuel ratio to Lean → Rich → Lean | More than 110ms |
| Average value when λ is lean | More than 140ms |
JUDGMENT VALUE - P015B SPECIFICATION
| Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
|---|---|
| Average value of time necessary for λ to inverse the air fuel ratio to Rich → Lean → Rich | More than 390ms |
| Average value when λ is rich | More than 400ms |
Time needed for diagnosis: 90 s
Malfunction indicator light illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
