The integrated air fuel catalyst monitor is an on board strategy designed to monitor the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst after a deceleration fuel shut off (DFSO) event. The monitor determines the amount of fuel needed to drive the catalyst to a rich condition when starting from an oxygen saturated, lean condition. The monitor is a measure of how much fuel is required to force the catalyst from a lean to a rich condition. The monitor runs during fuel reactivation following a DFSO event. The monitor completes after a calibrated number of DFSO monitoring events have occurred. The integrated air fuel catalyst monitor is used with a heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) or a universal HO2S.
