A method and system for monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. In one example, the method determines an estimate of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor time constant according to a correlation between a rate of change of a Lambda value and a system time constant.

System and method for diagnosing an exhaust gas sensor

A method and system for monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. In one example, the method determines an estimate of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor time constant according to a comparison of air/fuel ratios and a system time constant.

A method and system for monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. In one example, the method adjusts an estimate of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor delay time based on a fuel injection ramping time. The fuel injection ramping time compensates for fuel that is injected to the engine while the engine enters or exits a fuel cut-off mode.
