MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Fuel System Air Fuel Ratio Cylinder Imbalance Monitor

The ECM uses the air fuel ratio sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the difference in air fuel ratios between the cylinders caused by differences in injection volume between the cylinders, leakage in the intake or exhaust system, etc.

When the air fuel ratios of the cylinders are lean or rich with respect to each other, the ECM determines that a problem is present and stores a DTC.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method: P219A is stored primarily when a rich side imbalance is detected.

When the system detects a difference in the air fuel ratios between the cylinders due to fluctuation in the air fuel ratio sensor output over 1 engine cycle (2 crankshaft revolutions), the system determines that there is a problem.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method: P219C, P219D, P219E and/or P219F are stored primarily when a lean side imbalance is detected.

The system monitors the engine speed variation and when the variation becomes large, the system determines that there is a difference in the air fuel ratios between the cylinders, which it determines to be a problem.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
When any air-fuel ratio imbalance is detected, the ECM will perform air-fuel ratio feedback control to make the air-fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric level. This may result in an air-fuel ratio imbalance of normal cylinders and DTCs may be stored.
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
