  • Patent number: 5159810
    Abstract: An exhaust gas oxygen sensor downstream of a catalytic converter is used to control a closed loop air/fuel ratio control system. A measured limit cycle frequency at various engine speed/load conditions is compared to stored benchmark limit cycle frequencies as functions of engine speed/load conditions. If the measured frequency is higher, the catalytic converter is considered to be degraded.
