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.
