DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Only for California Spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way
catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage
* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air±fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage
* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air±
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

change when conditions (a), (b), and (c) continue for at least
1.5 min.:

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Except California Spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way
catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The heated oxygen sensor has the characteristic where by its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity
of the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the heated
oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas is reduced and the heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromo-
tive force: 1 V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the heated oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH
or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the heated oxygen sensor
causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by
the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low) current flows to the
heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

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