The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of heated oxygen
sensor 1 (front) and 2 (rear).
A three way catalyst* with high oxygen storage capacity will indi-
cate a low switching frequency of rear heated oxygen sensor. As
oxygen storage capacity decreases, the rear heated oxygen sen-
sor switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of front and rear heated oxygen sensors
approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst* malfunc-
tion is diagnosed.
*: Warm-up three way catalyst (For California)
DTC No. Malfunction is detected when ... Check Items (Possible Cause)

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NGEC1043
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least
5 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Open engine hood before conducting following proce-
dure.
Do not hold engine speed more than specified minutes
below.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Select DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION then SRT WORK SUP-
PORT mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Start engine.
4) Rev engine up to 2,500 to 3,500 rpm and hold it for 3 consecu-
tive minutes then release then accelerator pedal completely.
If INCMP of CATALYST changes to CMPLT, go to step 7.
5) Wait 5 seconds at idle.
6) Rev engine up to 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and hold it until INCMP
of CATALYST changes to CMPLT. (It will take maximum of
approximately 5 minute.)
SEF560X
7) Select SELF-DIAG RESULTS mode with CONSULT-II.
If the 1st trip DTC is detected, go to DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE, EC-283. If not COMPLT stop engine and
cool down COOLANT TEMP/SE to less than 70°C (158°F)
and then retest from step 1).
