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
>1350 & <2200 and vss >50 and <65.
Set Condition:
The oxygen sensor signal voltage is switching from below 0.39 of a volt to above 0.58 of a volt and back fewer
times than required.
Possible Causes
EXHAUST LEAK
(K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor: contaminated fuel, unapproved sil-
icone, oil and coolant.
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: After the repairs have been made, verify proper O2 Sensor operation.If all the O2 Sensor voltage
readings have not returned to normal, follow the diagnostic procedure forthe remaining O2 Sensors.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.

DURE)
2.EXHAUST LEAK

Inspect the exhaust system for leaks between the engine and the O2 Sensors.
Are there any exhaust leaks?
Ye s>>

Theory of Operation
The fuel feedback system will maintain a stoiciometric fuel/air mixture,14.7:1, by modifying the injector pulsewidth
according to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The PCM makes short termand long term fuel corrections to
maintain stoiciometric fuel/air ratio for best catalytic converter efficiency. Short term fuel correction is based on
upstream O2 sensor output and is designed for quick engine response. The long term fuel correction compensated
for variations in the engine specifications, sensor tolerances and component aging and is designed to correct rich
and lean conditions over a longer period of time.
When Monitored:
With the engine running in closed loop mode, the ambient/battery temperature above 20 deg. F and altitude
below 8500 ft.
Set Condition:
If the PCM multiplies short term compensation by long term adaptive and a certain percentage is exceeded for
two trips, a freeze frame is stored, the MIL illuminates and a trouble code is stored. Two Trip Fault. Three good
trips to turn off the MIL

P0420-1/1 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation
The upstream O2 sensor is used to detect the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas before the gas enters the
catalytic converter. During the catalyst/O2 monitor test, the response rate (cycles/second) of the upstream O2 sen-
sor determines the sensor’s ability to achieve the tailpipe emissions limits. The response rate of the downstream O2
sensor relative to the upstream O2 sensor response rate measures the catalyst’s ability to store oxygen and is used
to infer the catalyst’s ability to achieve the tailpipe emissions limits.
When Monitored:
After engine warm up to 70°C (158°F), 180 seconds of open throttle operation, at a speed greater than 18 mph
and less than 55 mph, with the engine at 1200-1700 rpm and MAP vacuum between15.0 and 21.0 inches of
mercury (Hg).
Set Condition:
As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2sensor approaches that of the
upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the switch ratio reachesa predetermined value a counter
is incremented by one. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.
