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.
If there is wide open throttle (signal voltage during wide open throttle enrichment greater than 0.6 volts) with a new three
way catalytic converter, distance driven less than 5,000 km (3,000 mi.) after a preceding deceleration fuel shut off (signal

Display group 042 [Diagnostic conditions for diagnosis of the flank rise and/or flank fall time (response time) of the
voltage signal of heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converters]
Notes:

If the value of the 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 DTC memory that relates to the oxygen sensor, display group 042 can be
used to set up the diagnostic conditions (display fields 3 and 4) and the diagnostic result (display field 2) can be read.
If the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, the Engine Control Module (ECM) checks the flank rise and/or flank fall time
(response time) of the voltage signal of the heated oxygen sensors in front of the three way catalytic converters at each
start, which is displayed each time display groups 032, 033, 034 and 43 are displayed.
The diagnostic conditions are only fulfilled during a trip of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) with
manual transmission in 4th or 5th gear, or automatic transmission selector lever in "D" position, preferably in 4th gear. If
the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, diagnosis is active. In order to get a diagnosis result, you have to drive approx. 1-1/2
to 5 minutes under diagnostic conditions.
If a malfunction is stored in DTC memory, which affects diagnostic conditions 1 and 2, the diagnostic conditions can not be
achieved. In this case repair the malfunction "DTC memory, checking and erasing page 01
-13
.
If a malfunction is stored that involves the heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converters, the diagnostic
conditions can be achieved, but the diagnosis result can not be OK.
If the flank rise and flank fall time is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the diagnosis is discontinued. If the times
are recognized as not OK, the diagnosis of the flank rise and/or flank fall time is continued. If the diagnosis will be
repeated selectively or after an OK diagnosis, switch engine off and restart.

Display group 043 [Current flank rise and/or flank fall time (response time) of voltage signal of heated oxygen
sensors in front of three way catalytic converters]
Notes:

When diagnostic conditions are fulfilled ( display group 042) display group 043 shows the current flank rise and/or flank
fall times. After diagnosis is ended, the diagnostic times shown are those that were recognized when the most recent
diagnosis was carried out. 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 flank fall times now continue to be checked, while the display values in display group 034 are
incremented with each additional test. However, the limit values can also be exceeded because of combustion misfiring
being 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 044 (Diagnostic conditions for three way catalytic converter diagnosis, bank 1 and bank 2)
Notes:

When the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled (display fields 3 and 4) by using the heated oxygen sensors in front of and
behind the three way catalytic converter, at each start the Engine Control Module (ECM) carries out a diagnosis of the
three way catalytic converter. During this diagnosis, the deterioration rate of the three way catalytic converter is
determined. The deterioration rate of the three way catalytic converter is displayed when display groups 035 and 036 are
displayed. However, this diagnosis is "cross-blocked." That means that before the three way catalytic converter diagnosis
can be evaluated, a result of the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis must be available to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
If a malfunction is stored in DTC memory that affects the heated oxygen sensors in front of or behind the three way
catalytic converter, the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis can not be carried out and the three way catalytic converter
diagnosis can not be evaluated.
If in display group 029, display field 1 the value of the three way catalytic converter diagnosis is not set to "0" during
regeneration of the readiness code, and/or a malfunction is stored in DTC memory that affects the three way catalytic
converter, display group 044 can be used to selectively call the diagnostic conditions (display fields 3 and 4).
If in display group 029, display field 1 the value of the three way catalytic converter diagnosis and the value of the heated
oxygen sensor diagnosis are not set to "0" during regeneration of the readiness code, display group 044, display field 1
can be used to determine whether the three way catalytic converter diagnosis has been carried out inside the engine
control module, but the value of the three way catalytic converter diagnosis under display group 029, display field 1 can
not be set to "0" because the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis has not been carried out.

The diagnostic conditions are only achieved during a trip of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) with
manual transmission in 4th or 5th gear, or automatic transmission selector lever in "D" position, preferably in 4th gear.
However, the diagnostic conditions are only displayed 4 minutes after engine start, because until that time diagnosis is
prohibited. If the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, diagnosis is active. Now, obtaining a diagnostic result requires a test
drive of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 min under the diagnostic conditions.
If a malfunction is stored in DTC memory that affects diagnostic conditions 1 and 2, the diagnostic conditions can not be
obtained. In this case repair the malfunction "DTC memory, checking and erasing," page 01
-13
. If a malfunction is
stored that involves the heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converter, the diagnostic conditions can be
achieved, but the diagnosis result can not be OK.
If the effect of the three way catalytic converter is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the diagnosis is
discontinued. If the effect (conversion) is recognized as not OK, the three way catalytic converter diagnosis is continued. If
the diagnosis will be repeated selectively and/or repeated after an OK diagnosis, stop the engine and start again.
