MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way catalyst (TWC) to monitor its
efficiency. The first sensor, an Air Fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, sends pre-catalyst A/F ratio information to the
ECM. The second sensor, a heated oxygen sensor (O2S), sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.
The ECM compares these 2 signals to judge the efficiency of the catalyst and the catalyst's ability to store
oxygen. During normal operation, the TWC stores and releases oxygen as needed. The capacity to store
oxygen results in a low variation in the post-TWC exhaust stream.
If the catalyst is functioning normally, the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor slowly switches between
RICH and LEAN. If the catalyst is deteriorated, the waveform will alternate frequently between RICH and
LEAN. As the catalyst efficiency degrades, its ability to store oxygen is reduced and the catalyst output
becomes more variable. When running the monitor, the ECM compares sensor 1 signals (A/F sensor)
over a specific amount of time to determine catalyst efficiency. The ECM begins by calculating the signal
length for both sensors (for the rear oxygen sensor, the ECM uses the output voltage signal length). If the
oxygen sensor output voltage signal length is greater than the threshold (threshold is calculated based on
the A/F sensor signal length), the ECM concludes that the catalyst is malfunctioning. The ECM will turn on
the MIL and a DTC will be set.

• Sensor 2 refers to the furthest sensor away from the engine assembly.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses information from the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor to regulate the air-fuel ratio and keep it
close to the stoichiometric level. This maximizes the ability of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to
purify the exhaust gas.
The A/F sensor detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and transmits the information to the ECM. The
inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to the outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element
is exposed to the exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an
integrated heating element.
The zirconia element generates small voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen
concentrations between the exhaust gas and outside air. The platinum coating amplifies this voltage
generation.
The A/F sensor is more efficient when heated. When the exhaust gas temperature is low, the sensor
cannot generate useful voltage signals without supplementary heating. The ECM regulates the
supplementary heating using a duty-cycle approach to adjust the average current in the sensor heater
element. If the heater current is outside the normal range, the signal transmitted by the A/F sensor will be
inaccurate, as a result, the ECM will be unable to regulate air-fuel ratio properly.
When the current in the A/F sensor heater is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this
as a malfunction in the sensor heater and sets a DTC.
Example:
The ECM sets DTC P0032 or P0052 when the current in the A/F sensor heater is more than 10 A.
Conversely, when the heater current is less than 0.8 A, DTC P0031 or P0051 is set.

• Sensor 2 refers to the sensor furthest away from the engine assembly.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The sensing position of the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect
the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. If the zirconia element is at the appropriate temperature,
and the difference between the oxygen concentrations surrounding the inside and outside surfaces of the
sensor is large, the zirconia element generates voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen
concentration detecting capacity of the zirconia element, the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust
with heat from a heating element inside the sensor.
Heated oxygen sensor heater range check (P0037, P0038, P0057 and P0058):
The ECM monitors the current applied to the O2 sensor heater to check the heater for malfunctions. If the
current is below the threshold value, the ECM will determine that there is an open circuit in the heater. If
the current is above the threshold value, the ECM will determine that there is a short circuit in the heater.
Example:
The ECM sets DTC P0038 or P0058 when the current in the HO2 sensor heater is more than 2 A.
Conversely, when the heater current is less than 0.3 A, DTC P0037 or P0057 is set.
Heated oxygen sensor heater performance (P0141 and P0161):
After the accumulated heater ON time exceeds 100 seconds, the ECM calculates the heater resistance
using the battery voltage and the current applied to the heater. If the resistance is above the threshold
value, the ECM will determine that there is a malfunction in the HO2S heater and set DTC P0141 and
P0161.

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor (DTCs P0136 and P0156 or P0137 and

During normal air-fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen
concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the HO2 sensor signal while the
engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there
is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range.

HINT:
• The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter.
• DTCs P0136 and P0156 indicate the deterioration of the HO2 sensor. The ECM sets the DTCs by
calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (1 driving
