TSB Revision DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES 13Ac-401 STEP 6. Test the OBD-II drive cycle. GROUP 13A, Procedure 3 − Catalytic Converter Monitor . (2) Read the diagnostic trouble code. YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 7. STEP 7. Test the OBD-II drive cycle. GROUP 13A, Procedure 3 − Catalytic Converter Monitor . (2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC). YES : Retry the troubleshooting. 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 • The PCM compares the output of the front and rear heated oxygen sensor signals. . DTC SET CONDITIONS Check Conditions • Engine speed is lower than 3,000 r/min. • The throttle valve is open. • Volume airflow sensor output frequency is between 69 and 169 Hz. • More than 3 seconds has elapsed after the above-mentioned three conditions have been • Intake air temperature is higher than −10°C (14 °F). • Barometric pressure is higher than 76 kPa (11 psi). • Under the closed loop air/fuel ratio control. • Vehicle speed is 1.5 km/h (0.93 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 volume airflow sensor output fre- quency for every 2 seconds is higher than 4,000 Judgment Criteria • The left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) signal frequency divided by left bank heated oxygen . TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely • Left bank side catalytic converter deteriorated. • Left bank heated oxygen sensor failed. • PCM failed. DIAGNOSIS Required Special Tool: • MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II) |
