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. 
Secondary Air System Monitor - When a cold engine is first 
started, it runs in open-loop mode. During open-loop operation, 
the engine usually runs rich. A vehicle running rich wastes fuel and 
creates increased emissions, such as carbon monoxide and some 
hydrocarbons. A Secondary Air System injects air into the exhaust 
stream to aid catalytic converter operation: 
1.
  It supplies the catalytic converter with the oxygen it needs to oxidize 
the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons left over from the 
combustion process during engine warm-up. 
2.
  The extra oxygen injected into the exhaust stream also helps the 
catalytic converter reach operating temperature more quickly during 
warm-up periods. The catalytic converter must heat to operating 
temperature to work properly. 
The Secondary Air System Monitor checks for component integrity and 
system operation, and tests for faults in the system. The computer runs 
this Monitor once per trip. 
The Secondary Air System Monitor is a “Two-Trip” monitor. If a fault is 
found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves this 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. 
Non-Methane Hydrocarbon Catalyst  (NMHC) Monitor - The 
non-methane hydrocarbon catalyst is a type of catalytic 
converter. It helps to remove non-methane hydrocarbons (NMH) left 
over from the combustion process from the exhaust stream. To 
accomplish this, heat and catalyst materials react with the exhaust 
gases to convert NMH to less harmful compounds. The computer checks 
the efficiency of the catalyst by monitoring the quantity of NMH in the 
exhaust stream.  The monitor also verifies that sufficient temperature is 
present to aid in particulate matter (PM) filter regeneration. 
The NMHC Monitor is supported by “compression ignition” vehicles only. 
The NMHC 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.
