DTC P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Exhaust oxygen concentration at the pre-catalyst and the post-catalyst of WU-TWC is detected from HO2S-1
and HO2S-2 respectively and accordingly ECM (PCM) controls the closed loop which then controls the fuel
injection volume. (Refer to Section 6E2.) While the above control is going on and if WU-TWC is in good condi-
tion, the output voltage of HO2S-2 is maintained at specified level. As WU-TWC becomes deteriorated, even
when the above control is going on, the exhaust gas which has passed WU-TWC then passes HO2S-2 at the
exhaust oxygen concentration similar to that of the pre-catalyst without being oxygenated or converted. Thus,
waveforms of HO2S-1 and HO2S-2 output voltages become alike. ECM (PCM) judges deterioration of WU-TWC
by comparing waveforms of HO2S-1 and HO2S-2.

1 Check injector for operating sound :
Using sound scope, check each injector for
operating sound at engine cranking.
Do all 6 injectors make operating sound?Go to Step 2. Go to Step 3.
2 Wire harness check :
1) Remove ECM (PCM) cover and disconnect
connectors from ECM (PCM).
2) Check for resistance between following ter-
minals of ECM (PCM) connector discon-
nected.
Fuel injector and its circuit resistance (C51-
2-1 – C51-3-4, C51-2-2 – C51-3-4, C51-2-8 –

at Step 1?Go to Step 4. Check coupler connec-
tion and wire harness of
injector not making oper-
ating sound and injector
itself (Refer to “FUEL
INJECTOR INSPEC-
TION” in Section 6E2).

3) Install piston rings to piston :
•As shown in the figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “RN” or “R”
mark respectively. When installing these piston rings to pis-
ton, direct marked side of each ring toward top of piston.
•1st rings differs from 2nd ring in thickness, shape and color
of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to the figure.
•When installing oil ring, install spacer first and then 2 rails.
4) After installing three rings (1st, 2nd and oil rings), distribute
their end gaps as shown in the figure. NOTE:
Install circlip with its cut part facing as shown in the
figure.
Install so that circlip end gap comes within such range
as indicated by arrow “A”.
