DESCRIPTION
The fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection time. The fuel trim consists of both the short-term and long-term fuel trims.The short-term fuel trim is fuel compensation that is used to constantly maintain the air-fuel ratio at stoichiometric levels. The signal from the Air-fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor indicates whether the air-fuel ratio is rich or lean compared to the stoichiometric ratio. This triggers a reduction in the fuel injection volume if the air-fuel ratio is rich and an increase in the fuel injection volume if it is lean.
Factors such as individual engine differences, wear over time and changes in operating environment cause short-term fuel trim to vary from the central value. The long-term fuel trim, which controls overall fuel compensation, compensates for long-term deviations in the fuel trim from the central value caused by the short-term fuel trim compensation.
If both the short-term and long-term fuel are lean or rich beyond predetermined values, it is interpreted as a malfunction, and the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0171 P0174 | When air-fuel ratio feedback is stable after warming up engine, fuel trim is considered to be in error on LEAN side (2 trip detection logic) |
|
P0172 P0175 | When air-fuel ratio feedback is stable after warming up the engine, fuel trim is considered to be in error on RICH side (2 trip detection logic) |
|
- HINT:
- When DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded, the actual air-fuel ratio is on the lean side. When DTC P0172 or P0175 is recorded, 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 or P0174 may be recorded. The MIL then illuminates.
- If the total of the short-term fuel trim value and long-term fuel trim value is within +-35% (engine coolant temperature is more than 75°C (167°F)), the system is functioning normally.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Under closed-loop fuel control, fuel injection volumes that deviate from those estimated by the ECM cause changes in the long-term fuel trim compensation value. The long-term fuel trim is adjusted when there are persistent deviations in the short-term fuel trim values. Deviations from the ECM's estimated fuel injection volumes also affects the average fuel trim learning value, which is a combination of the average short-term fuel trim (fuel feedback compensation value) and the average long-term fuel trim (learning value of the air-fuel ratio). If the average fuel trim learning value exceeds the malfunction threshold, the ECM interprets this a fault in the fuel system and sets a DTC.Example:
The average fuel trim learning value is more than +35% or less than -35%, the ECM interprets this as a fuel system malfunction.

- HINT:
- Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the A/F control function provided in the Active Test. The A/F control function can help to determine whether the A/F sensor, heated oxygen sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.
- The following instructions describe how to conduct the A/F control operation using the intelligent tester.
- (a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- (b) Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
- (c) Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
- (d) On the tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.
- (e) Perform the A/F control operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the right or left button to change the fuel injection volume).
- (f) Monitor the voltage outputs of the A/F and heated oxygen sensors (AFS B1S1 (AFS B2S1) and O2S B1S2 (O2S B2S2)) displayed on the tester.
- HINT:
- The A/F control operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
- Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.
- Standard:
Tester Display (Sensor) Injection Volume Status Voltage AFS B1S1 or AFS B2S1 (A/F) +25% Rich Less than 3.0 V AFS B1S1 or AFS B2S1 (A/F) -12.5% Lean More than 3.35 V O2S B1S2 or O2S B2S2 (heated oxygen sensor) +25% Rich More than 0.55 V O2S B1S2 or O2S B2S2 (heated oxygen) -12.5% Lean Less than 0.4 V
- NOTICE:
- The air-fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
- A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
