DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1171 FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM LEAN
DURING POWER ENRICHMENT
Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) internal circuitry can
identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of supplying
adequate amounts of fuel during heavy acceleration
(power enrichment). The ECM monitors the voltage of
the ox ygen sensor during power enrichment. When a
power enrichment mode of operation is requested
during “Closed Loop” operation (by heavy acceleration),the ECM will provide more fuel to the engine. Under
these conditions the ECM should detect a “rich”
condition (high ox ygen sensor voltage). If this “rich”
ex haust is not detected at this time, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code P1171 will set. A plugged fuel filter or
restricted fuel line can prevent adequate amounts of fuel
from being supplied during power enrichment mode.

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING 1-87
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
When the A/C switch and the fan control knob (fan switch) are turned on with the engine running, current flows
through the thermostat and the compressor relay to activate the magnetic clutch.
The air conditioning can be stopped by turning off the A/C switch or the fan control knob (fan switch).
However, even when the air conditioning is in operation, the electronic thermostat, the pressure switch or the ECM
is used to stop the air conditioning temporarily by turning off the magnetic clutch in the prearranged conditions to
reduce the engine load which is being caused by the rise in the engine coolant temperature, and the acceleration of
the vehicle, etc.
