MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the two sensors, mounted in front of and behind the Three–way Catalytic Converter (TWC),
to monitor its efficiency. 
The first sensor, the Air–Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor (sensor 1), sends pre–catalyst information to the ECM. The
second sensor, the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor (sensor 2), sends post–catalyst information to the ECM.
The ECM compares the information transmitted by these two sensors to determine the efficiency of the TWC
performance and its ability to store oxygen.
When the TWC is functioning properly, the variation in the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, after
it has passed through the TWC, is small. In this condition, the voltage output of sensor 2 slowly alternates
between the rich and lean signal voltages (shown in the illustration below). As the TWC performance efficien-
cy deteriorates, its oxygen storage capacity decreases, and the variation in the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas increases. As a result, the sensor voltage output fluctuates frequently. 
While the catalyst monitor is running, the ECM measures the signal lengths of both sensors 1 and 2, and
calculates the ratio of the signal lengths to determine the extent of the TWC deterioration. If the deterioration
level exceeds the preset threshold, the ECM interprets this as the TWC malfunction. The ECM then illumi-
nates the MIL and sets the DTC.

DTC No.
