ABSTRACT:
An on-board oxygen sensor monitoring system includes measuring a first limit cycle of air/fuel controller operation, changing operating parameters of the air/fuel controller and measuring a second limit cycle with the new calibration of the controller. A time constant of the oxygen sensor is calculated as a function of the first and second limit cycle periods and compared to a maximum response rate.
