P0171
System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
DTC
P0172
System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
”Fuel trim” refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection time. Fuel trim
includes short
−
term fuel trim and long
−
term fuel trim.
”Short
−
term fuel trim” is the short
−
term fuel compensation used to maintain the air
−
fuel ratio at its ideal
theoretical value. The signal from the heated oxygen sensor indicates whether the air
−
fuel ratio is RICH or
LEAN compared to the ideal theoretical value, triggering a reduction in fuel volume if the air
−
fuel ratio is rich,
and an increase in fuel volume if it is lean.
”Long
−
term fuel trim” is overall fuel compensation carried out long
−
term to compensate for continual devi-
ation of the short
−
term fuel trim form the central value due to individual engine differences, wear over time
and changes in the usage environment.
If both the short
−
term fuel trim and long
−
term fuel trim are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it is de-
tected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.
DTC No.
DTC Detecting Condition
Trouble Area
P0171
When the air fuel ratio feedback is stable after engine warming
up, the fuel trim is considerably in error on the RICH side.
(2 trip detection logic)
S
Air intake (hose loose)
S
Fuel line pressure
S
Injector blockage, leak
S
Heated oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) malfunction
S
Mass air flow meter
S
Engine coolant temp. sensor
P0172
When the air fuel ratio feedback is stable after engine warming
up, the fuel trim is considerably in error on the LEAN side.
(2 trip detection logic)
S
Fuel line pressure
S
Injector blockage, leak
S
Heated oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) malfunction
S
Mass air flow meter
S
Engine coolant temp. sensor
HINT:
S
When the DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air
−
fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC P0172 is
recorded, the actual air
−
fuel ratio is on the RICH side.
S
If the total of the short
−
term fuel trim value and long
−
term fuel trim value is 30
−
−
35 %, the
system is functioning normally.
S
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air
−
fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then come
on.
