Reticulum

Hey Guys,

For some reason this thread is all messed up. My at-home ISP
doesn't show it and the connect through Google at work still places
this thread as originating in 1997(!). All this has made it very hard
for me to follow all comments.

Anyway,... The battery cable disconnect trick worked. Check
Engine Light is out and hasn't returned in several days. Big Thanks!
for that.

Andrew

I believe the manuals say the downstream O2 is used to monitor the cat. I don't
think it says that's all it's used for. :-)

Could be, but the only DTCs I've seen are for the cat. Possibly it could
keep an eye on the primary O2 sensor based on what gets through the cat.

Actually I think it's used for making the EPA happy and to provide more sales
to the O2 sensor makers. :)

It's also used for fuel trim, and rationality checks.

Probably that too. :-)
