Land Cruiser URJ200 URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200 - 1UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL

The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.

In order to detect any deterioration in the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC), the ECM calculates the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC). This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air-fuel ratio control.

The OSC value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC). When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air-fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air-fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the rich-lean cycle of the heated oxygen sensor is long, the OSC becomes greater. There is a direct correlation between the OSCs of the heated oxygen sensor and Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC).

The ECM uses the OSC value to determine the state of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC). If any deterioration has occurred, it illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

CONDITIONING FOR SENSOR TESTING

HINT:

Perform the operation with the engine speeds and time durations described below prior to checking the waveforms of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors. This is to activate the sensors sufficiently to obtain appropriate inspection results.

Dtc P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). 1UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL. Land Cruiser URJ200 URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200

(a) Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessories switched off until the engine coolant temperature stabilizes.

(d) While running the engine at 3000 rpm for 2 seconds, and then 2000 rpm for 2 seconds, check the waveforms of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors using the GTS.

HINT:

If the voltage output of either the air fuel ratio or heated oxygen sensor does not fluctuate, or there is a noise in the waveform of either sensor, the sensor may be malfunctioning.

If the voltage outputs of both the sensors remain lean or rich, the air-fuel ratio may be extremely lean or rich. In such cases, perform the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor Active Test using the GTS.

If the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) has deteriorated, the heated oxygen sensor (located behind the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC)) voltage output fluctuates up and down frequently, even under normal driving conditions (active air-fuel ratio control is not performed).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

If a malfunction cannot be found when troubleshooting DTC P0420, P0430 a lean or rich abnormality may be the cause. Perform troubleshooting by following the inspection procedure for P0171, P0174 (System Too Lean) and P0172, P0175 (System Too Rich).

After performing repairs, drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern and check if DTC P0420 or P0430 is output again. If a DTC is output again, replace the catalyst if it has not been replaced already.

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.

Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.

Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.

Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
