- The engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM for a minimum of 34 seconds.
- The engine speed is within 150 RPM of the desired idle.
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 70-125° C (158-257° F).
- The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa.
- The vehicle is in Closed Loop.
- The intake air temperature (IAT) is between -20.5 and +80° C (-5 and +176° F).
- The battery voltage is more than 11 volts.
- The engine run time is more than 9 minutes.
- The vehicle speed is less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph).

- Test the catalyst by performing the following procedures:
- Idle the engine and place the vehicle in Drive, or depress the clutch pedal for a manual transmission vehicle, to activate the diagnostic. Within 60 seconds, the air fuel ratio will become lean, below 14.1, for up to 7 seconds, and then may become rich, above 15.3, for up to 7 seconds.
- Verify if DTC P0420 has passed or failed this ignition cycle with the scan tool.
