DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
DTC Strategy
  • MAX-Error of diagnosis of engine efficiency for catalyst heating during idle
  1. Intake air restriction
  2. Exhaust restriction
  3. Engine mechanical concern
  4. Damaged or sludged throttle body
  5. Vacuum leaks
  6. Damaged PCM
Enable Conditions
  • Engine speed is greater than 450rpm.
  • Normal battery voltage.
  • Engine speed gradient delay counter is greater than 12.
  • Change in commanded spark is less than 5 deg.
Threshold value
  • Average of spark efficiency deviation during 10sec(Difference of Actual efficiency and Target efficiency) greater than Threshold(ECT at Start) Ref.)

    Eng. Temp. at start -9.8°C(14.36°F) = Efficiency 0.5%

    Eng. Temp. at start 9.8°C(49.64°F) = Efficiency 0.5%

    Eng. Temp. at start 15°C(59°F) = Efficiency 0.5%

    Eng. Temp. at start 40°C(104°F) = Efficiency 0.5%

Diagnosis Time
  • 8 sec.
MIL On Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
