Catalytic converter efficiency is monitored after engine warms up to 158°F (70°C), vehicle speed 20-55 MPH AND with engine speed at 1216-1952 RPM. DTC will set if catalyst efficiency deteriorates, the switch rate of the downstream O2 sensor approaches that of the upstream O2 sensor. If at any point during the test the switch ratio reaches a predetermined value a counter is incremented by one.
