Given the robust nature of today's emissions control components, it is entirely possible for an individual component to P0287 malfunction without leading to an immediate increase in emissions at the tailpipe. In such cases, other components (like the catalyst) can temporarily compensate for the part that is broken however, these other components can only do double duty for so long before they, too, begin to malfunction. In addition, OBD also monitors for P0287 and other malfunctions in the fuel system problems that traditional tailpipe tests were not designed to identify.
