DTC 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 ration at its ideal
theoretical value. The signal from the 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 from 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 ConditionTrouble Area

When the air fuel ratio feedback is stable after engine warning
up, the fuel trim is considerably in error on the RICH side

HINT:
When DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air−fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC P0172 is re-
corded, the actual air−fuel ratio is on the RICH side.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air−fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 is detected. The MIL then
comes on.
If the total of the short−term fuel trim value and long−term fuel trim value is within ±25 %, the system
is functioning normally.

Detected
DTC P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
DTC P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor 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. And
when the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, 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.

For any particular 200 revolutions of the engine, misfiring is
detected which can cause catalyst overheating
(This causes MIL to blink)
For any particular 1,000 revolutions of the engine, misfiring is
detected which causes a deterioration in emissions
(2 trip detection logic)
HINT:
When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no Random Misfire code is
recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.
