ABSTRACT:
Air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine is controlled so as to test the operation of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor. The engine is divided into two banks, each bank including an intake bank of cylinders, an exhaust path, and an exhaust gas oxygen sensor in the exhaust path. Air/fuel ratio control signals are used in connection with each of the two banks, the control signals being 180.degree. out of phase with each other.
