DTC Detection Logic

The heated oxygen Sensor 2 has a much longer switching time between rich and lean than the air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1. The oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalyst 1 causes the longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen Sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the switching response of the Sensor's voltage is faster than specified during various driving conditions such as fuel cut.

The switching time between rich and lean of a heated oxygen Sensor 2 signal delays more than the specified time computed by ECM.
