DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of th\
e exhaust gas, a three −way cata-
lytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three −way catalytic converter, the air−fuel ratio
must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiom\
etric air −fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic where by its output voltage change\
s suddenly in the vicinity of the
stoichiometric air −fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentrati\
on in the exhaust
gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air −fuel ratio.
When the air −fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increas\
es and the oxygen
sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V)\
.
When the air −fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air −fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas in reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condit\
ion (large electromotive
force: 1 V). The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen \
sensor whether the air −fuel ratio
is RICH or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor
causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform acc\
urate air −fuel ratio control.
The heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the zirconia element\
. The heater is controlled by
the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas i\
s low) current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

After the engine is warmed up, heated oxygen sensor (bank 1
sensor 2) output does not indicate RICH even once when
conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for at least 1.5 min.

DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected

DTC P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position senso\
r to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred.
When the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorat\
ed, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor ”A” Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a signal plate and pick up coil. The NE\
signal plate
has 24 teeth and is built into the distributor. When the camshaft rotates, the protrusion on the signal plate
and the air gap on the pick up coil change, causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an elec-
tromotive force in the pick up coil. The NE signal sensor generates 24 signals fo\
r every engine revolution.
The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G1, G2 signals, \
detects the actual crankshaft
angle and the engine speed by the NE signals, and detects misfire by NE2 sign\
als.
