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.

DTC P0171 System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
DTC P0172 System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
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 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 + 38 %, the system
is functioning normally.

The oxygen sensor output voltage and the short±term fuel trim value can be read using the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester.

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.

HINT:

When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no random misfire code
is recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.

There is a case where the cylinder other than memorized has an accidental fire (the cylinder which is
one ahead of fired cylinder), so. at the time of checking all the checking items and if there is no ab-
normality, check the cylinder which is different from the recorded cylinder as fired.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G22 signal) consist of signal plate and pick up coil.
The G22 signal plate has one tooth on its outer circumference and is mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pick up coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pick up coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G22 sig-
nals and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM compares the waveform of the oxygen sensor located before the catalyst with the waveform of
the oxygen sensor located behind the catalyst to determine whether or not catalyst performance has deterio-
rated.
Air±fuel ratio feedback compensation keeps the waveform of the oxygen sensor before the catalyst repeat-
edly changing back and forth from rich to lean.
If the catalyst is functioning normally, the waveform of the oxygen sensor behind the catalyst switches back
and forth between rich and lean much more slowly than the waveform of the oxygen sensor before the cata-
lyst.
But when both waveforms change at a similar rate, it indicates that catalyst performance has deteriorated.

HINT:

If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440, first trouble shoot 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 was warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio was 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.
