Diagnostic Method

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After the enable conditions have been established, calculate the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda value deviation sum value (Σ |(sglmdn - sglmdn_1 )|), and rear oxygen sensor output voltage deviation sum value (Σ |(ro2sadn - ro2sadn-1 )|) in every 32 ms x 4 times. If the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda value deviation sum value (Σ |(sglmdn - sglmdn-1 )|) is the predetermined value or more, calculate the judgment value.

JUDGMENT VALUE REFERENCE CHART

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Σ |(ro2sadn - ro2sadn_1 )| / Σ |(sglmdn - sglmdn-1 )| > 8.02

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  30 - 55 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
