DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Only for California Spec.)
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 A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage
* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air±fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage
* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air±
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with 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.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

After engine is warmed up, A/F sensor output* does not
change when conditions (a), (b), and (c) continue for at least
1.5 min.:

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Except California Spec.)
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 heated 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 heated
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 heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromo-
tive force: 1 V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the heated oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH
or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the heated 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 temperature of the exhaust gas is low) current flows to the
heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(1) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Switch the TOYOTA hand±held tester from normal mode to check mode (See page DI±3).
(3) Start the engine and warm it up with all accessory switches OFF.
(4) Drive the vehicle at 50 ~ 65 km/h (31 ~ 40 mph) for 1 ~ 3 min. to warm up the heated oxygen sensor.
(5) Let the engine idle for 1 min.
(6) Perform steps (3) to (5) three times.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will light up during step (6).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
If you do not have a TOYOTA hand±held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps
(3) to (6), then perform steps (3) to (6) again.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.
