CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Fuel trim refers to the feedback compensation value compared to the basic injection time. Fuel trim includes
shortterm fuel trim and longterm fuel trim.
Shortterm fuel trim is the shortterm fuel compensation used to maintain the airfuel ratio at its ideal
theoretical value. The signal from the heated oxygen sensor indicates whether the airfuel ratio is RICH or
LEAN compared to the ideal theoretical value, triggering a reduction in fuel volume if the airfuel ratio is rich,
and an increase in fuel volume if it is lean.
Longterm fuel trim is overall fuel compensation carried out longterm to compensate for continual deviation
of the shortterm fuel trim from the central value due to individual engine differences, wear overtime and
changes in the usage environment.
If both the shortterm fuel trim and longterm fuel trim are LEAN or RICH beyond a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.
DTC No.

When the DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded, the actual airfuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC
P0172 or P0175 is recorded, the actual airfuel ratio is on the RICH side.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the airfuel ratio is LEAN and the DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then
comes on.
If the total of the shortterm fuel trim value and longterm fuel trim value is within 38 %, the system
is functioning normally.
The heated oxygen sensor (Bank 1, 2 Sensor 1) output voltage and the shortterm fuel trim value can
be read using the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA handheld tester.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA handheld 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 airfuel ratio was lean
or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
Check air induction system (See page SF1).
NG
Repair or replace.
OK
Check injector injection (See page SF24).
NG
Replace injector.
OK
Check engine coolant temperature sensor (See page SF55) and mass air flow
meter (See page SF32).
NG
Repair or replace.

DIAGNOSTICS
ENGINE
Check for spark and ignition (See page IG1).
NG
Repair or replace.
OK
Check fuel pressure (See page SF7).
NG
Check and repair fuel pump, pressure regulator,

fuel pipe line and filter.
OK
Check gas leakage on exhaust system.

Repair or replace.
OK
Check output voltage of heated oxygen sensor (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) during idling.
PREPARATION:
Keep the engine at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec. to warm up the heated oxygen sensor.
CHECK:
Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA handheld tester to read the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor during idling.
OK:
Heated oxygen sensor output voltage:
Alternates repeatedly between less than 0.4 V and more than 0.55 V (See the following table).
