The fault is recognized when the voltage of the oxygen
sensor behind the catalytic converter falls too slowly during
trailing throttle/overrun operation.
Potential problem source(s):
- Defect in wiring harness between DME and oxygen sensor
behind catalytic converter
- Oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter defective
Terminal condition: none
Voltage condition:
- Onboard electrical system voltage between 9 V and 16 V
Temperature condition:
- Engine warmed to normal temp, above 80 °C
Time condition:
- At least 10 sec. in overrun phase
Other conditions:
- Engine in overrun mode

Condition for fault memory entry
This fault is logged in the control module's fault memory
immediately.

Action in service
- Inspect wiring harness between oxygen sensor behind
catalytic converter and DME
- Replace oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter
