- When HC conversion drops below 60 percent efficiency, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code.

Range of Check
- Engine coolant temperature greater than 76°C (170°F)
- Vehicle speed greater than 20 mph (32 km/h) for 2 minutes
- Open throttle
- Closed loop operation
- Engine speed between 1,248 and 2,400 r/min
- MAP voltage between 1.50 and 2.60 V

Set Condition
- The switch (Lean/Rich) rate of the rear heated oxygen sensor reaches 70% of the front sensors switch rate.

Probable Cause
- Catalytic converter failed
