Theory of Operation
The upstream O2 sensor is used to detect the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas before the gas enters the
catalytic converter. During the catalyst/O2 monitor test, the response rate (cycles/second) of the upstream O2 sen-
sor determines the sensor’s ability to achieve the tailpipe emissions limits. The response rate of the downstream O2
sensor relative to the upstream O2 sensor response rate measures the catalyst’s ability to store oxygen and is used
to infer the catalyst’s ability to achieve the tailpipe emissions limits.
When Monitored:
After engine warm up to 70°C (158°F), 180 seconds of open throttle operation, at a speed greater than 18 mph
and less than 55 mph, with the engine at 1200-1700 rpm and MAP vacuum between15.0 and 21.0 inches of
mercury (Hg).
Set Condition:
As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2sensor approaches that of the
upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the switch ratio reachesa predetermined value a counter
is incremented by one. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.
Possible Causes
EXHAUST LEAK

Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: A new rear O2 Sensor along with an aging front O2 Sensor may cause the DTCtoset.Reviewthe
repair history of the vehicle before continuing.
NOTE: If an O2 Sensor DTC set along with the Catalytic Converter EfficiencyDTC diagnose the O2 Sensor
DTC(s) before continuing.
NOTE: Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor and Catalytic Converter: contami-
nated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant, repair necessary.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active at this time?
