EC-282 < DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS > [HR16DE] P0420 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION P0420 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION DTC Logic INFOID:0000000009020781 DTC DETECTION LOGIC The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2. A three way catalyst (manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2. As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2 switching frequency will increase. When the frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (manifold) malfunction is diagnosed. DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE 1. INSPECTION START Do you have CONSULT? YES >> GO TO 2. NO >> GO TO 7. 2. PRECONDITIONING If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test. 1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. 2. Turn ignition switch ON. 3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. TESTING CONDITION: Do not hold engine speed for more than the specified minutes below. >> GO TO 3. 3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I With CONSULT 1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature. 2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. 3. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load. 4. Let engine idle for 1 minute. 5. Select “COOLAN TEMP/S” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT. 6. Make sure that “COOLAN TEMP/S” indicates more than 70 °C (158°F). If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLAN TEMP/S” indication reaches to 70 °C (158°F). 7. Open engine hood. 8. Select “DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION” then “SRT WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT. 9. Rev engine up to 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely.
