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 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 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), (c) and (d) continue for at
least 1.5 min:
*: Output value changes at inside of the ECM only
(a) Engine speed: 1,500 rpm or more
(b) Vehicle speed: 40 - 100 km/h (25 - 62 mph)

HINT:
After confirming DTC P0125, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of the A/F sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) from the CURRENT DATA.
The ECM controls the voltage of the AFR+, AFL+, AFR- and AFL- terminals of the ECM to the fixed
voltage. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without the OBDII scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester.

HINT:
When the DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the lean side. When DTC
P0172 or P0175 is 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 or P0174 is recorded. The MIL
then comes on.
If the total of the short-term fuel trim value and the long-term fuel trim value is within + 35 % (80°C
(176°F) or more), the system is functioning normally.
The A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) output voltage and the short-term fuel trim value can be read
using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester.
The ECM controls the voltage of AFR+, AFL+, AFR- and AFL- terminals of ECM to the fixed voltage.
Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without OBD II scan tool or hand-
held tester.
OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester) displays the one fifth of the A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sen-
sor 1) output voltage which is displayed on the hand-held tester.
