ENGINE <NON-TURBO> Control System
Test condition
There are a large number of tests waiting to be
performed once the vehicle is stat-ted. It is the diag-
nostic system’s job to see that these tests are not
only performed, but performed under the appropriate
conditions.
An additional job of the diagnostic system is to pre-
vent false
from being stored. The diagnostic
system accomplishes this by not running certain
tests when it recognizes that faults already in the
system or tests currently being run could cause
the next test to fail erroneously. For example:
The test for the catalyst monitor does not run
if the MIL light is on due to an oxygen sensor
fault. The oxygen sensor is a key component
in the catalyst monitor test. If the sensor is not
functioning properly, there is no reason to run
the catalyst monitor
it won’t pass. This test
will not be run pending repair of the sensor
concern.
The diagnostic system does not run the test
monitoring catalyst operation if the EGR monitor
test is being run. The EGR monitor is an “intru-
sive” test and will cause the catalyst monitor
to produce data not representative of normal
operating conditions. This represents a conflict
of test data. The diagnostic system will wait
until the EGR monitor is finished before running
the catalyst monitor.
Finally, the results from the catalyst monitor
are always held until the oxygen sensor test
has been successfully completed. The results
from the test are suspended until the required
prerequisite test has been completed.
By reviewing these guidelines, the diagnostic system
avoids storing
that are the result of failure
of other components in the system. The diagnostic
system allows you to use the diagnostic scan tool
more confidently in diagnosing and repairing a con-
cern.
