INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held 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

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.

DTC P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
DTC P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
DTC P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred. And
when the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

HINT:

When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no random misfire code
is recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.

There is a case where the cylinder other than memorized has an accidental fire (the cylinder which is
one ahead of fired cylinder), so. at the time of checking all the checking items and if there is no ab-
normality, check the cylinder which is different from the recorded cylinder as fired.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If is the case that DTC besides misfire is memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting
for them.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
data 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 warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

When the vehicle is brought to the workshop and the misfire is not occurred, misfire can be confirmed
by reproducing the condition or freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there
is no misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)

When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data
is besides the range of ±20%, there is a possibility that the air±fuel ratio is inclining either to ºrichº
(±20% or less) or ºleanº (+20% or more).

When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility or
misfire only during warming up.

In the case that misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the driving with lack or
fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain of ignition plug, and etc.
1 Check wire harness, connector and vacuum hose in engine room.
CHECK:
(a) Check the connection conditions of wire harness and connector.
(b) Check the disconnection, piping and break of vacuum hose.
NG Repair or replace, then confirm that there is no
misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)
OK
2 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
Remove the spark plug (See page IG±1).
CHECK:
(a) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(b) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(a) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(b) Electrode gap: 1.0 ± 1.2 mm (0.039 ± 0.047 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to ignition coil and connect the igni-
tion coil connector to ignition coil.
