On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Once per driving cycle. Interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled or OK reported. Restarts next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria:
|
-
|
General conditions for this trouble code: Atmospheric pressure must exceed 72 kPa and the engine coolant and intake air temperature must exceed -7°C.
|
|
-
|
Ignition of three way catalytic converter: Engine running. Air mass flow has exceeded 6 g/s for 120 sec accumulative time. Air mass flow has exceeded 24 g/s for 18 sec accumulative time. No engine braking with fuel shut-off that is longer than 10 sec. No idling period longer than 40 sec.
Evaluation of three way catalytic converter: More than 200 sec since start. Coolant temperature above 70°C. Speed 40-115 km/h. Accelerator pedal depressed. Engine speed 1100-2300 rpm. Engine load 90-130 mg/c. Voltage transitions in oxygen sensor 2 are corrected with regards to load and engine speed and are accumulated under approved voltage periods for oxygen sensor 1*). When the voltage transitions have been corrected and accumulated for 20 sec the mean value of these is calculated.
*) Accepted periods have 30-80 % pulse ratio (+trigger).
|
Fault criteria:
|
-
|
Mean value of voltage transitions exceeding a calibrated value.
