DTC P0430 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION

Left Bank - B2


ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGIC
The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 (front) and 2 (rear).

A three way catalyst (Manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear). As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear) switching frequency will increase.

When the frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensor 1 (front) and 2 (rear) approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (Manifold) malfunction is diagnosed.

Malfunction is detected when three way catalyst (Manifold) does not operate properly, three way catalyst does not have enough oxygen storage capacity.

Possible Cause
- Three way catalyst (Manifold)
- Exhaust tube
- Intake air leaks
- Injectors
- Injector leaks
- Spark plug
- Improper ignition timing

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE: If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

WITH CONSULT-II

TESTING CONDITION:
- Open engine hood before conducting the following procedure.
- Do not hold engine speed for more than the specified minutes below.

1. Turn ignition switch "ON".







2. Select "DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION" then "SRT WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine.
4. Rev engine up to 2,500 to 3,500 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely. If "INCMP" of "CATALYST" changed to "COMPLT", go to step 7.
5. Wait 5 seconds at idle.
6. Rev engine up to 2,500 to 3,000 rpm and maintain it until "INCMP" of CATALYST changes to "CMPLT" (It will take approximately 5 minutes).
If not "CMPLT", stop engine and cool it down to less than 70 °C (158 °F) and then retest from step 1.




7. Select "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode with CONSULT-II.
8. Confirm that the 1st trip DTC is not detected.
If the 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" at the end of the article.

Overall Function Check
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the three way catalyst (Manifold). During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

WITH GST
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 63 [HO2S1 (B1) signal], 62 [HO2S1 (B2) signal] and engine ground, and ECM terminals 72 [HO2S2 (B1) signal], 71 [HO2S2 (B2) 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 72 and engine ground, or 71 and engine ground is very less than that of ECM terminals 63 and engine ground, or 62 and engine ground.
Switching frequency ratio = A/B
A: Heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear) voltage switching frequency
B: Heated oxygen sensor 1 (front) voltage switching frequency

This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, it means three way catalyst (Manifold) does not operate properly. Go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.

NOTE: If the voltage at terminal 62 or 63 does not switch periodically more than 5 times within 10 seconds at step 5, perform trouble diagnosis for "DTC P0133, P0153" first.
