DTC P0100 Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter uses a platinum hot wire. The hot wire air flow meter consists of a platinum hot wire,
thermistor and a control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The hot wire air flow meter works on the principle
that the hot wire and thermistor located in the intake air bypass of the housing detect any changes in the
intake air temp.
The hot wire is maintained at the set temp. by controlling the current flow through the hot wire. This current
flow is ten measured as the output voltage of the air flow meter.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and thermistor provide a bridge circuit, with the power
transistor controlled so that the potential of ”A” and ”B” remains equal to maintain the set temp.

DTC P0110 Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the air cleaner cap and
sensors the intake air temp.
A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value
according to the intake air temp. The lower the intake air temp.,
the greater the thermistor resistance value, and the higher the
intake air temp., the lower the thermistor resistance value (See
fig.1).
The intake air temp. sensor is connected to the ECM (See be-
low). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the
intake air temp. sensor from the terminal THA via a resistor R.
That is, the resistor R and the intake air temp. sensor are con-
nected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
temp. sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake
air temp., the potential at terminal THA also changes. Based on
this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to im-
prove driveability during cold engine operation.
If the ECM detects the DTC ”P0110”, it operates the fail safe
function in which the intake air temp. is assumed to be 20°C
(68°F).

DTC P0120 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch ”A”
Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and
detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve
is fully closed, the IDL contacts in the throttle position sensor
are on, so the voltage at terminal IDL of the ECM becomes
0 V. At this time, a voltage of approximately 0.3 − 0.8 V is applied
to terminal VTA of the ECM. When the throttle valve is opened,
the IDL contacts go off and thus the power source voltage of
approximately 12 V in the ECM is applied to terminal IDL of the
ECM. The voltage applied to terminal VTA of the ECM in-
creases in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve
and becomes approximately 3.2 − 4.9 V when the throttle valve
is fully opened. The ECM judges the vehicle driving conditions
from these signals input from terminals VTA and IDL, and uses
them as one of the conditions for deciding the air−fuel ratio
correction, power increase correction and fuel−cut control etc.

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 the exhaust gas, a three−way
catalytic 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 stoichiometric air−fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic where by its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the
stoichiometric air−fuel ratio. This is used to detect the oxygen concentration 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 increases 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 is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (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 accurate 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 is low) current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

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 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 deviation
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.

recorded, 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 recorded. 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.
