DRIVEABILITY - NGC
Symptom List:
P0420-CATALYTIC 1/1 EFFICIENCY
P0432-CATALYTIC 2/1 EFFICIENCY
Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be P0420-CATALYTIC 1/1 EFFI-
CIENCY.
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0420-CATALYTIC 1/1 EFFICIENCY
When Monitored: Engine Run time greater than 90 seconds. Engine Coolant greater than
70°C (158°F) Vehicle speed greater than 20 MPH and less than 55 MPH. Engine Speed
greater than 1216 RPM and less than 1952 RPM.
Set Condition: As catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2
sensor approaches that of the upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the
switch ratio reaches a predetermined value a counter is incremented by one. One Trip
Fault.
