OK VVT system is OK.*
*: DTCs P1349 and P1354 are also output after the foreign ob-
ject is caught in some part of the system in the engine oil and
the system returns to normal in a short time. As ECM controls
so that foreign objects are ejected, there is no problem about
VVT. There is also no problem since the oil filter should get the
foreign object in the engine oil.

The correct waveform is as shown.
The waveform frequency (A) is lengthened as the engine
speed becomes higher.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Battery positive voltage is supplied to terminal BATT of the ECM even when the ignition switch is OFF for
use by the DTC memory and air-fuel ratio adaptive control value memory, etc.

WIRING DIAGRAM
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 was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

DTC P0171 System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
DTC P0172 System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
DTC P0174 System too Lean (A/F Lean Malfunction,
Bank2)
DTC P0175 System too Rich (Bank2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Fuel trim refers to the feedback compensation value compared to 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.
