Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

•  The PCM detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas from the A/F sensor signal and performs fuel injection amount feedback to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio. If a condition in which the feedback correction amount is small (fuel injection amount being decreased) continues for the specified time, a feedback correction amount malfunction is determined, and a DTC is stored. The feedback correction amount has a “Fuel feedback correction amount” for the air/fuel ratio and a “Fuel learning correction amount” for fuel injector deterioration over time.
•  “Fuel feedback correction amount (SHRTFT1)” and “Fuel learning correction amount (LONGFT1)” can be verified from the M-MDS PID item.
1.  The sum of the fuel feedback correction amount (SHRTFT1) and the fuel learning correction amount (LONGFT1) is the specified value (−25 %*1/−31 %*2) or less, and 10 s or more have elapsed with the fuel learning correction amount (LONGFT1) at the specified value (−15 %) or less.
Engine coolant temperature: 0—45 °C {32—113 °F}, 60 °C {140 °F} or more

2.  Fuel learning correction amount (LONGFT1) at the specified value (−25%) or less.
Engine coolant temperature: 0—45 °C {32—113 °F}, 60 °C {140 °F} or more

*2  :Vehicles with coolant control valve (SKYACTIV-G 2.5)

Repeatability Verification Procedure

1.  Warm up the engine to allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 80 °C {176 °F} or more.
2.  Start the engine and leave it idling for 1 min.
Note
•  Match the engine coolant temperature in the recorded FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data, the vehicle speed, and engine speed values to the best extent possible while driving the vehicle.
3.  Try to reproduce the malfunction by driving the vehicle for 5 min based on the values in the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data.

1
PURPOSE: RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
Note
•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
•  Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data on the repair order.
Go to the next step.

•  Is the FLI value 30% or more?
Yes
Perform the DTC P0172:00 procedure.
No
Disconnect and connect the battery negative battery terminal.
Go to the next step.
3
PURPOSE: DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS THAT MIXING PROPORTION OF PREMIUN UNLEADED FUEL AND PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL (WITHIN E85) CANNOT BE DETERMINED CORRECTLY
•  Implement the repeatability verification procedure.
•  Is the DTC P0172:00 displayed?
Yes
Perform the DTC P0172:00 procedure.
No
If DTC is detected:
•  Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
If no DTC is detected:
•  DTC is output because the mixing proportion of premium unleaded fuel and premium unleaded fuel (within E85) cannot be determined correctly.
•  Explain the following refueling method to the customer.
―  It is recommended that premium unleaded fuel and premium unleaded fuel (within E85) should not be added alternately.
―  When changing the fuel type, refueling the tank to the extent possible (half of fuel tank capacity or more at minimum) with the different fuel is recommended.
―  Add more than 15 L {4.0 US gal, 3.3 Imp gal} of fuel when refueling.
―  Drive the vehicle for 10 km {6.2 mile} immediately after refueling so that the mixing proportion of premium unleaded fuel and premium unleaded fuel (within E85) is determined correctly.
