Circuit / System Description
A 3-way catalytic converter controls emissions by converting hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) into nitrogen. The three-way catalytic converter also stores oxygen. When the listed driving conditions are met, the Catalyst System Efficiency test will run. The engine control module (ECM) monitors this oxygen storage capacity by comparing the pre-and post-catalyst oxygen sensor signals while adding and subtracting fuel during specific driving conditions. The ECM compares the pre-and post-catalyst oxygen sensor signals to determine if the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst is degraded.
