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.

Notes on display field 1:
Display field 1 shows which diagnosis has been carried out or has not been carried out yet. If the three way catalytic converter
diagnosis is carried out inside the engine control module, but the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis has not been carried out
yet, the three way catalytic converter diagnosis is not evaluated and therefore the deterioration rate is not set in display
groups 035 and 036.
