DTC P0430 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION

Left Bank - B2


On Board Diagnosis Logic
The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of front and rear heated oxygen sensors.

A warm-up three way catalyst with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of rear heated oxygen sensor. As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the rear heated oxygen sensor switching frequency will increase.

When the frequency ratio of front and rear heated oxygen sensors approaches a specified limit value, the warm-up three way catalyst malfunction is diagnosed.

Malfunction is detected when warm-up three way catalyst does not operate properly, warm-up three way catalyst does not have enough oxygen storage capacity.

Possible Cause
- Warm-up three way catalyst
- Exhaust tube
- Intake air leaks
- Injectors
- Injector leaks
- Spark plug
- Improper ignition timing

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE: If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.










WITH CONSULT-II

TESTING CONDITION:
- Open engine hood before conducting the following procedure.
- Do not hold engine speed for more than the specified minutes below.

1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
2. Select "DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION" then "SRT WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine.
4. Rev engine up to 3,000 ± 500 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely.
5. Wait 5 seconds at idle.
6. Rev engine up to 2,500 ± 500 rpm and maintain it until "INCMP" of CATALYST changes to "CMPLT" (It will take approximately 5 minutes).
If not "CMPLT", stop engine and cool it down to less than 70° C (158° F) and then retest from step 1.
7. Select "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode with CONSULT-II.
8. Confirm that the 1st trip DTC is not detected.
If the 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.

Overall Function Check
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the warm-up three way catalyst. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.







WITH GST
1. Start engine and drive vehicle at a speed of more than 70 KPH (43 MPH) for 2 consecutive minutes.
2. Stop vehicle with engine running.
3. Set voltmeters probes between ECM terminals 63 (front heated oxygen sensor right bank signal), 62 (front heated oxygen sensor left bank signal) and engine ground, and ECM terminals 72 (rear heated oxygen sensor right bank signal), 71 (rear heated oxygen sensor left bank signal) and engine ground.
4. Keep engine speed at 2,000 rpm constant under no load.
5. Make sure that the voltage switching frequency (high & low) between ECM terminals 72 and engine ground, or 71 and engine ground is very less than that of ECM terminals 63 and engine ground, or 62 and engine ground.

Switching frequency ratio = A/B
A: Rear heated oxygen sensor voltage switching frequency
B: Front heated oxygen sensor voltage switching frequency
This ratio should be less than 0.75.
If the ratio is greater than above, it means warm-up three way catalyst does not operate properly. go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.

NOTE: If the voltage at terminal 62 or 63 does not switch periodically more than 5 times within 10 seconds at step 5, perform trouble diagnosis for "DTC P0133, P0153" first.
