Fault text
Oxygen sensor before catalytic converter 2, plausibility

Fault description
O2 Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Lean (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
Comparison of oxygen sensor before/behind cat. signals:
Sensor before cat. lean and sensor behind cat. rich
Diagnosis conditions:
- Active lambda control before cat.
- Sensor behind cat. ready for operation and checked
- Partial trim control (with sensor behind cat. active) active
Terminal condition: Engine running
Voltage condition:
battery voltage<11V oder Ubatt > 16 volts

Condition for fault memory entry
If exhaust system mass airflow integration fault conditions
are present, until threshold value is reached
Fault criterion:
Lambda > 1.1 and U_Oxygen sensor behind cat. > 0.75 V

Action in service
1. Replace LSU O2 sensor
2. Repair leak in exhaust system
3. Check wiring harness
