Theory of Operation
The downstream O2 Sensor is located in the exhaust path behind the catalytic converter, is monitored for proper
response to assure optimum catalytic converter efficiency. The downstream O2 response monitor is intended to
diagnose a downstream O2 sensor that is not moving or stuck in a voltage window and to insure accurate infor-
mation for catalyst monitor diagnosis.
When Monitored:
Start engine. Allow engine to idle. For 1st part of test, if limits are exceeded, test passes. If not, 2nd part of
test runs. amb/batt temp >44°F, Baro >22.13
H2O, battery >10.5 volts, MAP >11.79 & <18.15H2O, RPM
