(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

39, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 1 (right front).

(3) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 r/min.

• 0 − 0.4 and 0.6 − 1.0 volt should alternate 15 times or 

more within 10 seconds.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.8L ENGINE>

13B-642

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.

(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0421 set?

YES : Replace the right bank side catalytic converter. Then 

go to Step 6.

NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 6. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0421 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 7.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 7. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0421 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

DTC P0431: Warm up catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (bank 2)

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The signal from the rear heated oxygen sensor 

differs from the front heated oxygen sensor. That 
is because the catalytic converter purifies 
exhaust gas. When the catalytic converter has 
deteriorated, the signal from the front heated oxy-
gen sensor becomes similar to the rear heated 
oxygen sensor.

• The PCM compares the output of the front and 

rear heated oxygen sensor signals.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Front and rear heated oxygen sensor rich/lean 

switching frequencies are nearly equal.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other 
monitor and Sensor)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored 

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Heated oxygen sensor (front) monitor

• Heated oxygen sensor (rear) monitor

• Heated oxygen sensor heater (front) monitor

• Heated oxygen sensor heater (rear) monitor

• Misfire monitor

• Fuel system monitor

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be 

normal)

• Mass airflow sensor

• Engine coolant temperature sensor

• Intake air temperature sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

• Throttle position sensor

• Accelerator pedal position sensor

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• Engine speed is lower than 3,000 r/min.

• Accelerator pedal is open.

• Mass airflow is between 9 and 30 g/sec.

• More than 3 seconds have elapsed after the 

above-mentioned three conditions have been 
met.

• Intake air temperature is higher than −10°C 

(14

°F).

• Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (22.4 

in.Hg).

• Under the closed loop air/fuel ratio control.

• Vehicle speed is 1.5 km/h (1.0 mph) or more.

• The PCM monitors for this condition for 7 cycles 

of 12 seconds each during the drive cycle.

• Short-term fuel trim is higher than −30 percent 

and lower than +25 percent.

• The cumulative mass airflow is higher than 1,638 

g.

Judgment Criteria

• When the monitoring for 12 seconds is carried 

out 7 times, the frequency ratio of rear and front 
is 0.8 or more.
