Toyota Venza: System Too Lean (Bank 1) (P0171,P0172)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / 1ar-fe Engine Control / Sfi System / System Too Lean (Bank 1) (P0171,P0172)

DESCRIPTION

The fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection duration. 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 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 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 trims are lean or rich beyond predetermined values, it is interpreted as a malfunction, and the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0171	With a warm engine and stable air fuel ratio feedback, the fuel trim is considerably in error to the lean side (2 trip detection logic).	Intake system Injector blockage Mass air flow meter Engine coolant temperature sensor Fuel pressure Gas leak from exhaust system Open or short in air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) circuit Air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) PCV valve and hose PCV hose connections Wire harness or connector ECM
P0172	With a warm engine and stable air fuel ratio feedback, the fuel trim is considerably in error to the rich side (2 trip detection logic).	Intake system Injector leak or blockage Mass air flow meter Engine coolant temperature sensor Ignition system Fuel pressure Gas leak from exhaust system Open or short in air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) circuit Air fuel ratio sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) Wire harness or connector ECM

HINT:

When DTC P0171 is stored, the actual air fuel ratio is on the lean side. When DTC P0172 is stored, 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 may be stored. The MIL is then illuminated.
When the total of the short-term and long-term fuel trim values is within the malfunction threshold (and the engine coolant temperature is higher 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 fuel injection volumes estimated by the ECM also affect the average fuel trim learned value, which is a combination of the average short-term fuel trim (fuel feedback compensation value) and the average long-term fuel trim (learned value of the air fuel ratio). If the average fuel trim learned value exceeds the malfunction thresholds, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the fuel system and stores a DTC.

Example:

The average fuel trim learned value is +35% or more, or -35% or less, the ECM interprets this as a fuel system malfunction.
