TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The ECM effects air/fuel ratio feedback control in accordance with the signals from the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor.
- If the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor has deteriorated, corrections will be made by the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
- If the response speed of the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor to the change in the air-fuel ratio is too slow, the DTC is set as the right bank linear air-fuel ratio sensor deterioration.
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)
Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC set in memory for the item monitored below)
- Right bank linear air-fuel Ratio Sensor heater monitor
- Misfire monitor
- Fuel system monitor
Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
- Mass airflow sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake air temperature sensor
- Barometric pressure sensor
- Throttle position sensor
- Accelerator pedal position sensor
Check Conditions
- Engine speed is between 1,188 and 3,000 r/min.
- Volumetric efficiency is between 21.8 and 68.8 percent.
- Mass airflow sensor output is 8 g/sec or more.
- Engine coolant temperature is more than 60°C (140°F).
- Under the closed loop air/fuel control.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- Short-term fuel trim is between -25 and +25 percent.
- More than 3 seconds have passed after the above mentioned conditions have been met.
- During the drive cycle, the ECM performs monitoring with the accumulated total time of 10 seconds, 5 times.
Judgment Criteria
- The average frequency is less than 8 times.
- The frequency is less than 13 times.
