The quick warm-up system increases airflow and retards ignition timing to accelerate the warm-up of the catalyst on cold engine start. The powertrain control module (PCM) compares the output ignition timing with the requested ignition timing during the quick warm-up. If the output ignition timing deviates from the requested ignition timing, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
