Catalytic Converter: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Make sure that no HO2S DTC has been detected. If detected, this inspection cannot be used for WU-TWC inspection.
1. Connect the NGS tester and monitor PIDs as following.
-
Monitor the left WU-TWC using FHO2S PID for upstream HO2S and RHO2S PID for downstream HO2S.
2. Press START to begin monitoring the appropriate PIDs.
3. Drive the vehicle for 10 minutes at 65 - 96 km/h {40 - 60 mph} to ensure the front catalytic converter reaches operating temperature.
4. Stop the vehicle and leave in a safe place.
5. Let the engine at idle.
6. Press TRIGGER to begin recording PIDs.
7. Wait for 1 minute then press TRIGGER again to finish recording.
8. Select the appropriate PIDs and read the graph of "VIEW RECORDING".
9. Count the number of times (inversions) that the upstream HO2S graph line actually crosses the 0.5 V line.
10. Count the number of times (inversion) that the downstream H025 graph line actually crosses the 0.5V line.
NOTE: Do not count the number of peaks. Refer to the illustration.
