Cylinder misfiring
The signal line lengths of the downstream HO2Ss are compared against
the signal line lengths of the upstream HO2Ss. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which
reduces the frequency and amplitude of the downstream HO2S as
compared with an upstream HO2S signal. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines and the downstream
Diagnostic Aids:
HO2S signal has an increased amplitude and frequency, approaching the
amplitude and frequency of the upstream HO2S. Once beyond an
acceptable limit the DTC is set.
Vehicles with universal HO2Ss compare the signal line length of the
downstream HO2Ss to an expected signal line length of the downstream
HO2Ss with a deteriorated catalytic converter.
