2007 PCED On Board Diagnostics SECTION 1: Description and Operation
Procedure revision date: 03/29/2006
Catalyst and Exhaust Systems
Overview
The catalytic converter and exhaust systems work together to control the release of harmful engine exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N), carbon dioxide (CO
) and water vapor (H 2 O). However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NO x ),
2
hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air pollutants of CO, NO x , and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the PCM. For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the description for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor in this section.
The number of HO2Ss used in the exhaust stream and the location of these sensors depend on the vehicle emission certification level (LEV, LEV-II, ULEV, PZEV). On most vehicles only 2 HO2Ss are used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control while the ones after the catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each engine bank. The stream 1 sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control, the stream 2 sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors (HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long term fuel trim control to optimize catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control). Current PZEV vehicles use only a 4-cylinder engine, so only the bank 1 HO2Ss are used.
V-Engines
In-Line Engines
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated ceramic honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they are used up as much as possible.
Light Off Catalyst
As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C (475°F to 575°F ) . A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body. Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that catalyst.
Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency
A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NO x conversion efficiency.
TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart
Exhaust System
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and NO x in the exhaust emissions
to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust tailpipe.
On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold (stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted after the light-off catalyst.
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration
Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration
Underbody Catalyst
The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific vehicle, refer to the Workshop Manual Section 309-00, Exhaust System.
Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter
The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the reduction reaction of NO
. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating the engine air fuel/ratio at or close
x
to stoichiometry.
Exhaust Manifold Runners
The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of cylinders.
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The HO2Ss provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. For additional information on the HO2S, refer to Engine Control
Components in this section.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the atmosphere.

Procedure revision date: 03/29/2006
Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
The catalyst efficiency monitor uses an oxygen sensor before and after the catalyst to infer the hydrocarbon (HC) efficiency based on the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. Under normal closed-loop fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have significant oxygen storage. This makes the switching frequency of the rear heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) very slow and reduces the amplitude of those switches as compared to the switching frequency and amplitude of the front HO2S. As the catalyst efficiency deteriorates due to thermal and chemical deterioration, its ability to store oxygen declines. The post-catalyst or downstream HO2S signal begins to switch more rapidly with increasing amplitude, approaching the switching frequency and amplitude of the pre-catalyst or upstream HO2S. The predominant failure mode for high mileage catalysts is chemical deterioration (phosphorus deposits on the front brick of the catalyst), not thermal deterioration.
In order to assess catalyst oxygen storage, the catalyst monitor counts front HO2S switches during part­throttle, closed-loop fuel conditions after the engine is warmed-up and the inferred catalyst temperature is within limits. Front switches are accumulated in up to 3 different air mass regions or cells. While catalyst monitoring entry conditions are being met, the front and rear HO2S signal lengths are continually being calculated. When the required number of front switches has accumulated in each cell, the total signal length of the rear HO2S is divided by the total signal length of the front HO2S to compute a catalyst index ratio. An index ratio near 0.0 indicates high oxygen storage capacity, hence high HC efficiency. An index ratio near
1.0 indicates low oxygen storage capacity, hence low HC efficiency. If the actual index ratio exceeds the threshold index ratio, the catalyst is considered failed.
Inputs from engine coolant temperature (ECT) or cylinder head temperature (CHT), intake air temperature (IAT), mass air flow (MAF), crankshaft position (CKP), throttle position (TP), and vehicle speed sensors are required to enable the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor.

The DTCs associated with this test are DTC P0420 (Bank 1 or Y-pipe system) and P0430 (Bank 2). Because an exponentially weighted moving average algorithm is used to determine a concern, up to 6 driving cycles may be required to illuminate the MIL during normal customer driving. If the KAM is reset or the battery is disconnected, a concern illuminates the MIL in 2 drive cycles.
General Catalyst Monitor Operation
Monitor execution is once per drive cycle. The typical monitor duration is 700 seconds. In order for the catalyst monitor to run, the HO2S monitor must be complete and the secondary AIR and EVAP system functional with no stored DTCs. If the catalyst monitor does not complete during a particular driving cycle, the already accumulated switch/signal data is retained in the KAM and is used during the next driving cycle to allow the catalyst monitor a better opportunity to complete.
Rear HO2S can be located in various configurations to monitor different kinds of exhaust systems. In-line engines and many V-engines are monitored by their individual bank. A rear HO2S is used along with the front, fuel control HO2S for each bank. Two sensors are used on an in-line engine and 4 sensors are used on a V-engine. Some V-engines have exhaust banks that combine into a single underbody catalyst. These systems are referred to as Y-pipe systems. They use only 1 rear HO2S along with the 2 front, fuel-control HO2S. The Y-pipe system uses 3 sensors in all. For Y-piped systems, the 2 front HO2S signals are combined by the PCM software to infer what the HO2S signal would have been in front of the monitored catalyst. The inferred front HO2S signal and the actual single, rear HO2S signal is then used to calculate the index ratio.
Exhaust systems that use an underbody catalyst without a downstream/rear HO2S are not monitored by the catalyst efficiency monitor.
Most vehicles that are part of the low emission vehicle (LEV) catalyst monitor phase-in, monitor less than 100% of the catalyst volume. Often this is the first catalyst brick of the catalyst system. Partial volume monitoring is done on LEV and ultra low emission vehicle (ULEV) vehicles in order to meet the 1.75 emission standard. The rationale for this strategy is that the catalyst nearest the engine deteriorate first, allowing the catalyst monitor to be more sensitive and illuminate the MIL correctly at lower emission
standards.
Many applications that use partial-volume monitoring place the rear HO2S after the first light-off catalyst can or after the second catalyst can in a 3-can per bank system. (A few applications placed the HO2S in the middle of the catalyst can, between the first and second bricks).
Some partial zero emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 sets of HO2S per engine bank. The front sensors or stream 1 (HO2S11/HO2S21) are the primary fuel control sensors. The next sensors downstream or stream 2 in the exhaust are used to monitor the light-off catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22). The last sensors downstream or stream 3 in the exhaust (HO2S13/HO2S23) are used for very long term fuel trim in order to optimize catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control). For additional heated oxygen sensor information, refer to the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor in this section.
Index ratios for ethanol (flex fuel) vehicles vary based on the changing concentration of alcohol in the fuel. The threshold to determine a concern typically increases as the percent of alcohol increases. For example, a threshold of 0.5 may be used at E10 (10% ethanol) and 0.9 may be used at E85 (85% ethanol). The thresholds are adjusted based on the percentage of alcohol in the fuel. Standard fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol.

Cold Start Emission Reduction Monitor
Overview
The cold start emission reduction monitor is an on-board strategy designed for vehicles that meet the low emissions vehicle-II (LEV-II) emissions standards. The monitor works by validating the operation of the components of the system required to achieve the cold start emission reduction strategy. There are 2 types of monitors:
cold start emission reduction component monitor
!
cold start emission reduction system monitor
!
Cold Start Emission Reduction Component Monitor
Two different tests are carried out during the cold start emission reduction component monitor. The low idle airflow test which checks the performance of the idle air control strategy and the spark timing monitor test which checks the spark timing strategy.
Low Idle Air Flow Test
When the cold start emission reduction monitor is enabled, the powertrain control module (PCM) commands the idle air control system to increase the RPM, which elevates engine air flow. While this cold start emission reduction elevated air flow is requested, the low idle air flow test compares the measured idle air flow from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to the commanded idle air control strategy. For the purpose of detecting low air flow failures, the low air flow test uses the measured air flow and the commanded air flow to create a low air flow index.
Low idle air flow test operation:
DTC: P050A cold start idle air control system performance
!
Monitor execution: Once per driving cycle, from start up with the cold start emissions reduction active

!
Barometric pressure is between 76.2 kPa (22.5 in-Hg) and 105 kPa (31 in-Hg)
!
Engine off soak time is at least 50 minutes
!
Throttle is at closed position
!
Spark Timing Monitor Test
The PCM is equipped with a spark conduction capture circuit which measures the timing and duration of the spark delivered by processing the flyback voltage signal from the primary side of the ignition coil. When the cold start emission reduction monitor is enabled, the spark control strategy in the PCM commands the spark timing strategy to retard the spark timing. While retarded spark timing is requested, the spark timing monitor compares the measured spark timing from the spark conduction capture circuit to the commanded spark timing from the spark control strategy. For the purpose of detecting spark timing failures, the spark timing monitor increments a fault filter if the measured spark timing is advanced by more than 5 degrees from the commanded spark timing. A failure is indicated if the fault filter exceeds a value of 200, equivalent to a failure duration of approximately 4 seconds.

Cold Start Emission Reduction System Monitor
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the cold start emission reduction system monitor to calculate the actual catalyst warm up temperature during a cold start. The actual catalyst warm up temperature calculation uses measured engine speed, measured air mass and commanded spark timing inputs to the PCM. The PCM then compares the actual temperature to the expected catalyst temperature model. The expected catalyst temperature model calculation uses desired engine speed, desired air mass and desired spark timing inputs to the PCM. The difference between the actual and expected temperatures is reflected in a ratio. This ratio is a measure of how much loss of catalyst heating occurred over the period of time and when compared with a calibrated threshold it helps the PCM to determine if the cold start emission reduction system is working properly. This ratio correlates to tailpipe emissions, and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates when the calibrated threshold is exceeded. The monitor is disabled if a concern is present in any of the sensors or systems used for expected catalyst temperature model calculation.

Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM)
The CCM monitors for concerns in any powertrain electronic component or circuit that provides input or output signals to the PCM that can affect emissions and is not monitored by another on board diagnostics (OBD) monitor. Inputs and outputs are, at a minimum, monitored for circuit continuity or correct range of values. Where feasible, inputs are also checked for rationality, and outputs are also checked for correct functionality.
The CCM covers many components and circuits and tests them in various ways depending on the hardware, function, and type of signal. For example, analog inputs such as throttle position or engine coolant temperature are typically checked for opens, shorts, and out-of-range values. This type of monitoring is carried out continuously. Some digital inputs like brake switch or crankshaft position rely on rationality checks - checking to see if the input value makes sense at the current engine operating conditions. These types of tests may require monitoring several components and can only be carried out under the appropriate test conditions.
Outputs such as coil drivers are checked for opens and shorts by monitoring a feedback circuit or smart driver associated with the output. Other outputs, such as relays, require additional feedback circuits to monitor the secondary side of the relay. Some outputs are also monitored for correct function by observing the reaction of the control system to a given change in the output command. An idle air control solenoid can be functionally tested by monitoring the idle RPM relative to the target idle RPM. Some tests can only be carried out under the appropriate test conditions. For example, the transmission shift solenoids can only be tested when the PCM commands a shift.
The following is an example of some of the input and output components monitored by the CCM. The component monitor may belong to the engine, ignition, transmission, air conditioning, or any other PCM supported subsystem.
1. Inputs:
Air conditioning pressure (ACP) sensor, camshaft position (CMP) sensor, crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor, fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor, fuel rail pressure temperature (FRPT) sensor, fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor, intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, throttle position (TP) sensor.
2. Outputs:
EVAP canister purge valve, EVAP canister vent (CV) solenoid, fuel injector, fuel pump (FP), idle air control (IAC), intake manifold runner control (IMRC), shift solenoid, torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid, variable camshaft timing (VCT) actuator, wide open throttle A/C cutout (WAC).
3. CCM is enabled after the engine starts and is running. A DTC is stored in KAM and the MIL is
illuminated after 2 driving cycles when a concern is detected. Many of the CCM tests are also carried out during an on-demand self-test.

Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR) System Monitor
The EEGR system monitor is an on-board strategy designed to test the integrity and flow characteristics of the EGR system. The monitor is activated during EGR system operation and after certain base engine conditions are satisfied. Input from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) or cylinder head temperature (CHT), intake air temperature (IAT), throttle position (TP), crankshaft position (CKP), mass air flow (MAF), and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors is required to activate the EGR system monitor. Once activated, the EGR system monitor carries out each of the tests described below during the engine modes and conditions indicated. Some of the EGR system monitor tests are also carried out during a key on engine off (KOEO) or key on engine running (KOER) self-test.
The EEGR monitor consists of an electrical and functional test that checks the stepper motor and the EEGR system for correct flow. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the EEGR valve by commanding from 0 to 52 discreet increments or steps to get the valve from fully closed to fully open. The stepper motor electrical test is a continuous check of the 4 electric stepper motor coils and circuits to the PCM. A concern is indicated if an open circuit, short to power, or short to ground has occurred in one or more of the stepper motor coils or circuits for a calibrated period of time. If a concern has been detected, the EEGR system is disabled, setting diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0403. Additional monitoring is suspended for the remainder of the drive cycle, or until the next engine startup.
After the vehicle has warmed up and normal EEGR flow rates are being commanded by the PCM, the EEGR flow check is carried out. The flow test is carried out once per drive cycle when a minimum amount of exhaust gas is requested and the remaining entry conditions required to initiate the test are satisfied. If a concern is detected, the EEGR system, as well as the EEGR monitor, is disabled until the next engine startup.
The EEGR flow test is done by observing the behavior of 2 different values: MAP - the analog MAP sensor reading, and inferred MAP - calculated from the MAF sensor, throttle position and RPM. An EGR flow concern is indicated by either a no flow condition or a low flow condition prior to exceeding 1.5 times the applicable emission standard. The criteria used to determine which flow concern threshold applies is based upon whether or not the applicable emission standards are exceeded on the federal test procedure test cycle without EGR delivery.
When the flow test entry conditions have been satisfied, EEGR is commanded to flow at a calibrated test rate (about 10%). At this time, the value of MAP is recorded (EGR-ON MAP). The value of inferred MAP EGR-ON inferred MAP is also recorded. Next the EEGR is commanded off (0%). Again, the value of MAP is recorded (EGR-OFF MAP). The value of EGR-OFF inferred MAP is also recorded. Typically, 7 such ON/OFF samples are taken. After all the samples have been taken, the average EGR-ON MAP, EGR-ON inferred MAP, EGR-OFF MAP and EGR-OFF inferred MAP values are stored.
The difference between the EGR-ON and EGR-OFF value is calculated as follows:
MAP-delta equals EGR-ON MAP — EGR-OFF MAP
!
Inferred MAP-delta equals EGR-ON inferred MAP — EGR-OFF inferred MAP
!
If the sum of MAP-delta and inferred MAP-delta exceeds a maximum threshold or falls to less than a minimum threshold, DTC P0400 (high or low flow concern) is registered.
As an additional check, if the EGR-ON MAP exceeds a maximum threshold (BARO, a calibrated value), DTC P0400 (low flow) is set. This check is carried out to detect reduced EGR flow on systems where the MAP sensor is located in the intake manifold plenum.
Note: BARO is inferred at engine startup using the KOEO MAP sensor reading. It is updated during high, part-throttle or high RPM engine operation.
If the inferred ambient temperature is less than -7°C ( 2 0 °F ) , g r e a t e r t h a n 5 4 °C ( 1 3 0 °F ) , o r t h e a l t i t u de is greater than 8,000 feet (BARO less than 22.5 in-Hg), the EEGR flow test cannot be reliably done. In these conditions, the EEGR flow test is suspended and a timer starts to accumulate the time in these conditions. When the vehicle leaves these extreme conditions, the timer starts to decrement, and if conditions permit, attempts to complete the EGR flow monitor. If the timer reaches 800 seconds, the EEGR flow test is disabled for the remainder of the current driving cycle and the EGR monitor is set to a ready condition.
A DTC P1408, like the P0400, indicates a EGR flow concern (outside the minimum or maximum limits) but is only set during the KOER self-test. The P0400 and P0403 are MIL codes. P1408 is a non-MIL code.
