2.6.2 non-Continuous Monitors

“Non-continuous” Monitors perform and complete their testing once per trip. 

The “non-continuous” Monitors are:

1. o

 Sensor Monitor

The Oxygen Sensor monitors how much oxygen is in the vehicle’s exhaust. It 

generates a varying voltage of up to one volt, based on how much oxygen is 

in the exhaust gas, and sends the signal to the computer. The computer uses 

this signal to make corrections to the air/fuel mixture. If the exhaust gas has a 

large amount of oxygen (a lean air/fuel mixture), the oxygen sensor generates 

a “low” voltage signal. If the exhaust gas has very little oxygen (a rich mixture 

condition), the oxygen sensor generates a “high” voltage signal. A 450mV 

signal indicates the most efficient, and least polluting, air/fuel ratio of 14.7 

parts of air to one part of fuel.
The oxygen sensor must reach a temperature of at least 600-650°F, and the 

engine must reach normal operating temperature, for the computer to enter 

into closed-loop operation.
The oxygen sensor only functions when the computer is in closed-loop. A 

properly operating oxygen sensor reacts quickly to any change in oxygen 

content in the exhaust stream. A faulty oxygen sensor reacts slowly, or its 

voltage signal is weak or missing.
The Oxygen Sensor Monitor is supported by “spark ignition” vehicles only. 

The Oxygen Sensor Monitor is a “Two-Trip” monitor. If a fault is found on the 

first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a Pending 

Code. The computer does not command the MIL on at this time. If the fault is 

sensed again on the second trip, the computer commands the MIL “On,” and 

saves the code in its long-term memory.

 Sensor Heater Monitor

The Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor tests the operation of the oxygen sensor’s 

heater. There are two modes of operation on a computer-controlled vehicle: 

“open-loop” and “closed-loop.” The vehicle operates in open-loop when the 

engine is cold, before it reaches normal operating temperature. The vehicle 

also goes to open-loop mode at other times, such as heavy load and full 

throttle conditions. When the vehicle is running in open-loop, the oxygen 

sensor signal is ignored by the computer for air/fuel mixture corrections. 

Engine efficiency during open-loop operation is very low, and results in the 

production of more vehicle emissions.
Closed-loop operation is the best condition for both vehicle emissions and 

severe, and may cause catalytic converter damage, it commands the MIL 

to “flash” once per second as soon as the misfire is sensed. When the 

misfire is no longer present, the MIL reverts to steady “On” condition.

The Misfire Monitor is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and 

“compression ignition” vehicles.

2. fuel System Monitor

This Monitor uses a Fuel System Correction program, called Fuel Trim, inside 

the on-board computer. Fuel Trim is a set of positive and negative values that 

represent adding or subtracting fuel from the engine. This program is used 

to correct for a lean (too much air/not enough fuel) or rich (too much fuel/not 

enough air) air-fuel mixture. The program is designed to add or subtract fuel, 

as needed, up to a certain percent. If the correction needed is too large and 

exceeds the time and percent allowed by the program, a fault is indicated by 

the computer.
The Fuel System Monitor is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and 

“compression ignition” vehicles. The Fuel System Monitor may be a “One-Trip” 

or “Two-Trip” Monitor, depending on the severity of the problem.

3. Comprehensive Components Monitor (CCM) 

This Monitor continuously checks all inputs and outputs from sensors, 

actuators, switches and other devices that provide a signal to the computer. 

The Monitor checks for shorts, opens, out of range value, functionality and 

“rationality* (

See Note

).”

 

Rationality: Each input signal is compared against all other inputs and against 

information in the computer’s memory to see if it makes sense under the current 

operating conditions. 
Example: The signal from the throttle position sensor indicates the vehicle is 

in a wide-open throttle condition, but the vehicle is really at idle, and the idle 

condition is confirmed by the signals from all other sensors. Based on the input 

data, the computer determines that the signal from the throttle position sensor 

is not rational (does not make sense when compared to the other inputs). In this 

case, the signal would fail the rationality test.

The CCM is supported by both “spark ignition” vehicles and “compression 

ignition” vehicles. The CCM may be either a “One-Trip” or a “Two-Trip” 

Monitor, depending on the component.
