DTC

P042000

Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses air fuel ratio sensors mounted in front of and behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to monitor its efficiency.

The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1), sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2), sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.

In order to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the output current of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) while performing active air fuel ratio control.

The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the cycle of the waveform for the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) is long, the oxygen storage capacity is great. There is a direct correlation between the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) and the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter.

The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three-way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

This system determines the deterioration of the entire catalyst system (including the front and rear catalysts), by using the oxygen storage capacity value of the front catalyst, that is more sensitive than the rear catalyst, as the representative value. Therefore, be sure to replace the front and rear catalysts together when catalyst replacement is necessary.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • It is necessary for the response of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) to be normal in order to confirm DTC P042000. Therefore, perform the confirmation driving pattern for the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) monitor before performing the confirmation driving pattern for the catalyst efficiency monitor.
  • Performing this confirmation driving pattern will activate the catalyst efficiency monitor. This is very useful for verifying the completion of a repair.
  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

HINT:

  • If a malfunction cannot be found when troubleshooting DTC P042000, a lean or rich abnormality may be the cause. Perform troubleshooting by following the inspection procedure for P017100 (System Too Lean) and P017200 (System Too Rich).
  • Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
  • Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
  • Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).
  • While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be malfunctioning.
  • Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
