DTC P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0441 (Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow), P0446 (Evaporative
Emission Control System Vent Control Malfunction), P0450 (Evaporative Emission Control System
Pressure Sensor Malfunction) or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 (Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem Malfunction), first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected,
troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.

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.

When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the
VSV for EVAP, charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor.
1 Check voltage between terminals VC and E2 of ECM connector
(See page DI±122, step 9).
NG Check and replace ECM (See page IN±31).

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 oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the
stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic 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: < 0.45 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: > 0.45 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 sen-
sor causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio con-
trol.
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.

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 existing
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.

DTC P0171 System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
(Only for California Spec.)
DTC P0172 System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
(Only for California Spec.)
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 A/F sensor is approximately proportional to the existing air±fuel ratio, and ECM compar-
ing it with the ideal theoretical value, the ECM reduces fuel volume immediately if the air±fuel ratio is rich
and increases fuel volume if it is lean.
Long±term fuel trim compensates the deviation from the central value of the short±term fuel trim stored up
by each engine tolerance, and the deviation from the central value due to the passage of time and changes
of using environment.
If both the short±term fuel trim and long±term fuel trim exceed a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction
and the MIL lights up.

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
detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.

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 recorded. The MIL then
comes on.

If the total of the short±term fuel trim value and long±term fuel trim value is within + 35 % (80°C (176°F)
or more), the system is functioning normally.
