DTC Confirmation Procedure

CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:
If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.

With CONSULT

1. Start engine and drive vehicle at a speed of more than 70 km/h (43 MPH) for 2 consecutive minutes.
2. Stop vehicle with engine running.
3. Set "MANU TRIG" and "HI SPEED", then select "FR 02 SEN-B1 (-B2)", "RR 02 SEN-B1 (-B2)", "FR 02 MNTR-B1 (-B2)", "RR 02 MNTR-B1 (-B2)" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.




4. Touch "RECORD" on CONSULT screen with engine speed held at 2,000 rpm constantly under no load.
5. Make sure that the switching frequency between "RICH" and "LEAN" of "RR 02 MNTR-B1 (-B2)" is much less than that of "FR 02 MNTR-B1 (-B2)". Switching frequency ratio = AIB
A: Rear heated oxygen sensor switching frequency
B: Front heated oxygen sensor switching frequency
This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, the warm-up three way catalyst is not operating properly.
If the "FR 02 MNTR-B1 (-B2)" does not indicate "RICH" and "LEAN" periodically more than 5 times within 10 seconds at step 4, perform trouble diagnosis for "DTC P0133, P0153" first.
If the result is NG, go to "Diagnostic Procedure".
If the result is OK, go to following step.
6. Select "AUTO TRIG" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
7. Drive vehicle at a speed of approximately 86 to 96 km/h (53 to 60 MPH) with "D" position ("OD" ON) (A/T), 5th gear position (M/T) for at least 10 consecutive minutes. (Drive the vehicle in an area where vehicle speed and accelerator pressure can be held steady and constant.)
If the result is NG, go to "Diagnostic Procedure".




8. Select "SRT STATUS" in "DTC CONFIRMATION" mode with CONSULT.
9. Verify that "CATALYST" is "CMPLT".
If not "CMPLT", repeat the test from step 6.

Overall Function Check

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the warm-up three way catalyst. During this check, a 1st trip DTG might not be confirmed.

Without CONSULT
1. Start engine and drive vehicle at a speed of more than 70 km/h (43 MPH) for 2 consecutive minutes.
2. Stop vehicle with engine running.







3. Set voltmeters probes between ECM terminals 50 (front heated oxygen sensor right bank signal), 51 (front heated oxygen sensor left bank signal) and engine ground, and ECM terminals 56 (rear heated oxygen sensor right bank signal), 57 (rear heated oxygen sensor left bank signal) and engine ground.
4. Keep engine speed at 2,000 rpm constant under no load.
5. Make sure that the voltage switching frequency (high & low) between ECM terminals 56 and engine ground, or 57 and engine ground is vey less than that of ECM terminals 50 and engine ground, or 51 and engine ground.
Switching frequency ratio = AIB
A:Rear heated oxygen sensor voltage switching frequency
B:Front heated oxygen sensor voltage switching frequency
This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, it means warm-up three way catalyst does not operate properly. Go to "Diagnostic Procedure".

NOTE:
If the voltage at terminal 50 or 51 does not switch periodically more than 5 times within 10 seconds at step 5, perform trouble diagnosis for "DTC P0133, P0153" first.
