 Display group 038 (Current data on combustion misfiring recognition)  
Notes:  
 
If the malfunctions "Combustion misfiring recognized" and "Cyl. X Combustion misfiring recognized"are stored in DTC 
memory, display groups 031, 037, 038 and 039 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis. 
 Using display group 038, after a repair you can drive again in the load and engine speed range that was displayed in 
display group 031 as the combustion misfiring range and evaluated again.

Notes:  
 
Combustion misfiring recognition always occurs in relation to 1000 RPM (1000th revolution interval).
 The display values are reset only be erasing DTC memory. Selected observation time periods can be defined by resetting

The voltage signals of bank 1 heated oxygen sensor 2 and/or bank 2 heated oxygen sensor 2 should not be evaluated 
until at least 50 sec. after the oxygen sensor heating is switched on   display group 040.  With cold engine and ignition on, a voltage signal of 0.400 volts is displayed in all four display fields. With very hot engine 
and ignition on, a signal of 0.000 volts is displayed in display field 3 and 4. 
 The voltage signal of the heated oxygen sensors behind the three way catalytic converter must lie between about 0.5 volts 
and 0.6 volts with a three way catalytic converter with sufficient effect (conversion). During deceleration fuel shut off, the 
voltage signal must be less than 0.1 volts constantly. During operation with wide open throttle enrichment, the voltage 
signal must be greater than 0.6 volts. 
 If there is wide open throttle (signal voltage during wide open throttle enrichment greater than 0.6 volts) with a new three 
way catalytic converter, distance driven less than 5,000 km (3,000 mi.) after a preceding deceleration fuel shut off (signal

 Display group 042 [Diagnostic conditions for diagnosis of the flank rise and/or flank fall time (response time) of the 
voltage signal of heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converters]  
Notes:  
 
If the value of the oxygen sensor diagnosis is not set to "0" in display group 029, display field 1 during regeneration of the 
readiness code and/or there is a malfunction in DTC memory that relates to the oxygen sensor, display group 042 can be 
used to set up the diagnostic conditions (display fields 3 and 4) and the diagnostic result (display field 2) can be read. 
 If the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, the Engine Control Module (ECM) checks the flank rise and/or flank fall time 
(response time) of the voltage signal of the heated oxygen sensors in front of the three way catalytic converters at each 
start, which is displayed each time display groups 032, 033, 034 and 43 are displayed. 
 The diagnostic conditions are only fulfilled during a trip of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) with 
manual transmission in 4th or 5th gear, or automatic transmission selector lever in "D" position, preferably in 4th gear. If 
the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, diagnosis is active. In order to get a diagnosis result, you have to drive approx. 1-1/2 
to 5 minutes under diagnostic conditions. 
 If a malfunction is stored in DTC memory, which affects diagnostic conditions 1 and 2, the diagnostic conditions can not be 
achieved. In this case repair the malfunction   "DTC memory, checking and erasing   page 01

 . 
 If a malfunction is stored that involves the heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converters, the diagnostic 
conditions can be achieved, but the diagnosis result can not be OK. 
 If the flank rise and flank fall time is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the diagnosis is discontinued. If the times 
are recognized as not OK, the diagnosis of the flank rise and/or flank fall time is continued. If the diagnosis will be 
repeated selectively or after an OK diagnosis, switch engine off and restart.
