Abstract
A procedure has been proposed for diagnosing operability of a catalytic treatment device for catalytically treating internal combustion engine exhaust gas, by determining whether the catalytic treatment device reaches a light-off operating condition within a short period of time following an engine coldstart operation. When catalytic converter temperature reaches a temperature level associated, for an operable catalytic converter, with light-off, the operating efficiency of the converter is sampled and, if persistently below an acceptable operating efficiency over a number of coldstart operations, a deterioration in the converter is stored and indicated.
