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.

PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description
When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect the vehicle to the OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1978 or TOYOTA hand-
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle's ECM.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the emission control
system/components or in the powertrain control
components which affect vehicle emissions, or a
malfunction in the computer. In addition to the MIL
lighting up when a malfunction is detected, the ap-
plicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) pre-
scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM
memory (See page DI-14).
If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the
MIL goes off automatize but the DTC remain recorded in the
ECM memory.
To check the DTC, connect the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester to the Data Link Con-
nector 3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester also enables you
to erase the DTC and check freezed frame data and
various forms of engine data (For operating instruc-
tions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).
DTC include SAE controlled codes and manufac-
turer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufactur-
er controlled codes can be set freely by the
manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See DTC
chart on page DI-14).

The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTC use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily
(TOYOTA hand-held tester only). (See step 2)
*2 trip detection logic:
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunc-
tion is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. (1st
trip)
If the same malfunction is detected again during the second
drive test, this second detection causes the MIL to light up. (2nd
trip) the 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time (However, the
ignition switch must be turned OFF between the 1st trip and 2nd
trip.).
Freeze frame data:
Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when a misfire (DTCs P0300 - P0306) or fuel trim
malfunction (DTCs P0171 and P0172) or other mal-
function (first malfunction only), is detected. Be-
cause freeze frame data records the engine condi-
tions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant
temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle
speed, etc.) when the malfunction is detected.
When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the en-
gine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
Priorities for troubleshooting:
If troubleshooting priorities for multiple DTCs are given in the
applicable DTC chart, these should be followed.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
(1) DTC other than fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171
and P0172), and misfire (DTCs P0300 - P0306).
(2) Fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171 and P0172).
(3) Misfire (DTCs P0300 - P0306).

(b) Check the DLC3.
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE
J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

HINT:
If your display shows UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition
switch ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the
vehicle side or tool side.
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool's instruction manual.
2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Normal Mode)
(a) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter
(See page BE-53).
(2) When the engine started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the 1st
trip DTC using Continuous Test Results function
(Mode 7 for SAE J1979) or the OBD II scan tool or TOY-
OTA hand-held tester.

TOYOTA hand-held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is switched from the nor-
mal mode to the check mode, it erases all DTC and
freezed frame data recorded in the normal mode. So
before switching modes, always check the DTC and
freezed frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J 1978) or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-
held tester to the DLC3 at the lower center of the
instrument panel.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II
scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held
tester to check the DTC and freezed frame data and
note them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).
If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the 1st
trip DTC using Continuous Test Results function
(Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester.
(5) See page DI-14 to confirm the details of the DTC.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool
(excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester) to check the
DTC, use the normal mode. For code on the DTC chart
subject to º2 trip detection logicº, perform the follow-
ing either action.
Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is
simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in
the ECM.
Check the 1st trip DTC using Mode 7 (Continuous Test
Results) for SAE J1979.
(c) Clear the DTC.
The DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased by either
action.
Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying
with SAE J1978) or TOYOTA hand-held tes-
ter to erase the codes. (See the OBD II scan
tool's instruction book for operating instruc-
tions.)
