Display group 031 (Operating conditions when combustion misfiring is recognized):
Notes:

If the malfunction "Combustion misfiring recognized" and "Cyl. X Combustion misfiring recognized" are stored in DTC
memory, display groups 031, 037, 038 and 039 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
Display group 031 shows the operating conditions that are present at the moment the malfunction is recognized. However,
the operating conditions are only displayed if combustion misfiring is recognized by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and
stored in DTC memory. If there is more combustion misfiring that has to be displayed, the operating conditions of the most
recently recognized combustion misfiring is displayed.
If the malfunction "Combustion misfiring" is stored in the DTC memory, at the same time a counter is set to the value of
"40". This counter is displayed under display field 4 when display group 029 is called. If combustion misfiring is no longer
recognized during the next 40 warm-up phases, the malfunctions in DTC memory and the operating conditions are
erased.

heated oxygen sensor 2]
Display group 034 [Number of flank rise and flank fall tests]
Notes on display group 032, 033 and 034:

If the value of the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis is not set to "0" in display group 029, display field 1 during regeneration
of the readiness code, and/or there is a malfunction in the DTC memory that relates to the heated oxygen sensors, display
groups 032, 033 and 034, as well as display groups 042 and 043 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) checks the flank rise and/or flank fall time (response time) of the voltage signal for the
heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converter after every start with diagnostic conditions fulfilled
display group 042. The display values for display group 034 are incremented with each diagnosis that is carried out, whether the diagnosis is
recognized as OK or not OK. If the flank rise and/or flank fall time is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the
display values are increased by the value "1" and the diagnosis is discontinued. If the limit values (flank rise time 90
ms/flank fall time 85 ms) are exceeded, the diagnosis is recognized as not OK. The flank rise and/or fall times now
continue to be checked, whereby the display values are incremented with each additional diagnosis. However, the limit
values can also be exceeded because combustion misfiring is recognized. In this case, the malfunction "Bank X probe Y
signal too slow" is not stored in DTC memory, but" Cyl. x Combustion misfiring recognized" is stored.

Display group 035 (Three way catalytic converter diagnosis, bank 1)

Notes on display groups 035 and 036:

If the value of the three way catalytic converter diagnosis is not set to "0" in display group 029, display field 1 during
regeneration of the readiness code and/or there is a malfunction in DTC memory that relates to the three way catalytic
converter, display groups 035, 036 and 044 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
At each start, when the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled ( display group 044) the Engine Control Module (ECM) checks
the deterioration rate of the three way catalytic converter by the heated oxygen sensors in front of and behind the three
way catalytic converter. Display fields 1 and 2 display the largest and smallest rate of deterioration of all the diagnoses carried out. If a higher or
lower rate of deterioration is recognized at the next diagnosis, the current value is overwritten.
The number of three way catalytic converter diagnoses (display field 3) is incremented each time a diagnosis is carried
out, no matter whether the diagnosis is considered OK or not OK.
If the rate of deterioration is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the number of three way catalytic converter
diagnoses is increased by the value of "1" and the diagnosis is discontinued.
If the limit value of 50% is exceeded, the diagnosis is recognized as not OK. In this case, the rate of deterioration
continues to be checked, while the number of three way catalytic converter diagnoses is incremented with each additional
diagnosis.
Display field 4 shows the current rate of deterioration recognized at the last diagnosis.

Display group 037 (Sensor wheel learning value)
Notes:

In order to be able to monitor and/or record combustion misfiring, a sensor wheel is necessary. The flywheel (starter ring
gear) is used as the sensor wheel. The flywheel is checked for mechanical damage after each start, i.e. specified
tolerances must not be exceeded.
Small malfunctions in the flywheel (e.g. teeth worn) are compensated by learning values. If greater damage is recognized,
the malfunction "engine speed sensor wheel tooth error recognized" is stored in the DTC memory.
The sensor wheel is tested during a deceleration fuel shut-off in the engine speed range from 2200 -4000 RPM. In order to
get a result, the length of the deceleration fuel shut off must be approx. 10 sec.

relay, i.e. immediately at engine start.
The heating of the heated oxygen sensors behind the three way catalytic converter is not switched on immediately at
engine start, but only when the calculated exhaust gas temperature in the three way catalytic converter exceeds 308 C
(586 F) display group 044, display field 2. In order to reach an exhaust gas temperature of 308 C (586 F) in the three
way catalytic converter after a cold start, the car must be driven about 20 sec. with an increased engine speed of 2500
RPM.

The voltage signals of bank 1 heated oxygen sensor 2 and/or bank 2 heated oxygen sensor 2 should not be evaluated
until at least 50 sec. after the oxygen sensor heating is switched on display group 040. With cold engine and ignition on, a voltage signal of 0.400 volts is displayed in all four display fields. With very hot engine
and ignition on, a signal of 0.000 volts is displayed in display field 3 and 4.
The voltage signal of the heated oxygen sensors behind the three way catalytic converter must lie between about 0.5 volts
and 0.6 volts with a three way catalytic converter with sufficient effect (conversion). During deceleration fuel shut off, the
voltage signal must be less than 0.1 volts constantly. During operation with wide open throttle enrichment, the voltage
signal must be greater than 0.6 volts.
