1.1.3 Validation of the calculated sensor signals (O2_cat_i) of one period

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW X6, 2010 BMW 535xi, 2010 BMW 535i, 2010 BMW 135i, and 2009 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. monitoring two cross criteria (calculated sensor signal has to cross the mean value characteristic curve twice)
  2. monitoring of delta threshold for minimum and maximum of trim control set-point (O2 _CAT is a calculated value, taking O2 rear signal as a basis)
  3. difference of mean value of the calculated sensor signals related to one period to the next one [(O2_CAT_MVn) -(O2_CAT_MVn-1)]
