6-78 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
DTC P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Heated oxygen sensor-1
2. Warm up three way catalytic converter
3. Three way catalytic converter
4. Heated oxygen sensor-2
5. To the sensor
ECM monitors oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas which has passed the three way catalytic converter by
HO2S-2.
When the catalyst is functioning properly, the variation cycle of HO2S-2 output voltage (oxygen concentration) is
slower than that of HO2S-1 output voltage because of the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas which has been
stored in the catalyst.
