DESCRIPTION

The VVT (variable valve timing) system adjusts the intake valve timing to improve driveability. The engine oil pressure turns the camshaft timing gear assembly to adjust the valve timing.

The camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is a solenoid valve and switches the engine oil line. The valve moves when the ECM applies the 12 V to the solenoid. The ECM changes the energizing time to the solenoid (duty-cycle) in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0011Intake valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the advance range (1 trip detection logic).Valve timing Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly Oil control valve filter Camshaft timing gear assembly ECM
P0012Intake valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the retard range (2 trip detection logic).

The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the camshaft timing gear assembly. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the camshaft timing gear assembly. The camshaft timing gear assembly can advance or retard the intake camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a camshaft timing gear assembly stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

  1. Example
  2. A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met: It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A"). After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").
  3. DTC P0011 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
  4. DTC P0012 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.
  5. These DTCs indicate that the camshaft timing gear assembly cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

P0016Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and camshaft position sensor signal (2 trip detection logic).Valve timing Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly Oil control valve filter Camshaft timing gear assembly ECM

To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learning value while the engine is idling. The VVT learning value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC P0016.

Scheme 118: DESCRIPTION
  1. When either of these DTCs is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. The ECM turns off the air fuel ratio sensor heater in fail-safe mode. Fail-safe mode continues until the power switch is turned off.
  2. Although the DTC titles say the oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor.
  3. Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the Three-way catalytic converter and located near the engine assembly.
  4. The ECM uses pulse width modulation to adjust the current through the heater. The air fuel ratio sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the +B side of the circuit.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0031Air fuel ratio sensor heater current is below 0.8 A, even when the air fuel ratio sensor heater duty cycle is 30% or more (1 trip detection logic).Open in air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) heater circuit Air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) ECM
P0032An air fuel ratio sensor heater current reaches the high limit (Hybrid IC high current limiter input "Fail") (1 trip detection logic).Short in air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) heater circuit Air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) ECM
P101DThe heater current is higher than the specified value while the heater is not operating (1 trip detection logic).ECM

The ECM uses information from the air fuel ratio sensor to regulate the air fuel ratio and keep it close to the stoichiometric level. This maximizes the ability of the three-way catalytic converter to purify the exhaust gases.

The air fuel ratio sensor detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and transmits the information to the ECM. The inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to the outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element is exposed to the exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an integrated heating element.

The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen concentrations between the exhaust gas and outside air. The platinum coating amplifies this voltage generation.

The air fuel ratio sensor is more efficient when heated. When the exhaust gas temperature is low, the sensor cannot generate useful voltage signals without supplementary heating. The ECM regulates the supplementary heating using a duty-cycle approach to adjust the average current in the sensor heater element. If the heater current is outside the normal range, the signal transmitted by the air fuel ratio sensor becomes inaccurate, as a result, the ECM is unable to regulate air fuel ratio properly.

When the current in the air fuel ratio sensor heater is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor heater and stores a DTC.

P102DThe heater current is higher than the specified value while the heater is not operating (1 trip detection logic).ECM

The sensing portion of the heated oxygen sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. If the zirconia element is at the appropriate temperature and the difference between the oxygen concentrations surrounding the inside and outside surfaces of the sensor is large, the zirconia element generates voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen concentration detecting capacity of the zirconia element, the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust with heat from a heating element inside the sensor.

Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater Range Check (P0037, P0038 and P102D)

  1. The ECM monitors the current applied to the heated oxygen sensor heater to check the heater for malfunctions. If the heater current is outside the normal range, the signal transmitted by the heated oxygen sensor becomes inaccurate. When the current in the heated oxygen sensor heater is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor heater and stores a DTC.

Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater Performance (P0141)

  1. After the accumulated heater ON time exceeds 100 seconds, the ECM calculates the heater resistance using auxiliary battery voltage and the current applied to the heater. If the resistance is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the heated oxygen sensor heater and stores DTC P0141.

P0101Conditions (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) continue for more than 10 seconds (2 trip detection logic): (a) Engine is running. (b) Engine coolant temperature is 70°C (158°F) or higher. (c) Throttle position sensor voltage is 0.2 V or higher, and below 2 V. (d) Average engine load value ratio is less than 0.8, or more than 1.15 (varies with estimated engine load). Average engine load value ratio = Average engine load based on mass air flow meter output / Average engine load estimated from driving conditions (e) Average air fuel ratio is less than -20%, or more than 20%.Mass air flow meter sub-assembly Intake system PCV hose connections EGR valve assembly

The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve. The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide an appropriate air fuel ratio. Inside the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air. By applying a specific electrical current to the wire, the ECM heats it to a specific temperature. The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the voltage applied to the mass air flow meter sub-assembly. The voltage level is proportional to the air flow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.

The ECM monitors the average engine load value ratio to check the mass air flow meter sub-assembly for malfunctions. The average engine load value ratio is obtained by comparing the average engine load calculated from the mass air flow meter sub-assembly output to the average engine load estimated from the driving conditions, such as the engine speed and the throttle opening angle. If the average engine load value ratio is below the threshold value, the ECM determines that the intake air volume is low, and if the average engine load value ratio is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that the intake air volume is high.

If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.

The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve.

The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide the appropriate air fuel ratio.

Inside the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air by applying a specific electrical current to the wire.

The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant temperature value of the hot wire, current is applied to these components in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.

The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and the temperature sensor create a bridge circuit, and the power transistor is controlled so that the potentials of A and B remain equal to maintain the predetermined temperature.

HINT

When either of these DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is calculated by the ECM, according to the engine speed and throttle valve position. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

Scheme 133

Scheme 133: DESCRIPTION
  1. The intake air temperature sensor, mounted in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, monitors the intake air temperature. The intake air temperature sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the intake air temperature becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes ( (Scheme 112)(Scheme 133) ).
  2. The intake air temperature sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THA terminal of the ECM, via resistor R which is located inside the ECM.
  3. Resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes, according to changes in the intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THA also varies. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve driveability.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0111When either of following conditions are met (2 trip detection logic): In duration between engine warmed up and next engine starts, change in intake air temperature sensor output below threshold During engine warming up after cold engine starts, change in intake air temperature sensor output bellow thresholdMass air flow meter sub-assembly

After warm engine stopped

The ECM monitors the intake air temperature variation in the period from when the engine was warmed up on the previous trip until the next engine start. If the change in the intake air temperature sensor output is less than the threshold, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the intake air temperature sensor. When this is detected, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.

After a cold engine in started

The monitor runs when the engine is started cold after 5 hours or more have elapsed since the engine stopped. If the intake air temperature sensor output variation until the engine has warmed up completely is less than the threshold, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the intake air temperature sensor. When this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.

The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the intake air temperature. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the intake air temperature sensor and stores a DTC.

Example

If the sensor output voltage is higher than 4.91 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is an open in the intake air temperature sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0113. Conversely, if the output voltage is below 0.18 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is a short in the sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0112.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 0.5 seconds after the engine is next started.

The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature sensor has a thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the coolant temperature becomes low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are reflected in the output voltage from the sensor. The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit and stores a DTC.

Example

If the sensor output voltage is higher than 4.91 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is an open in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0118. Conversely, if the voltage output is below 0.14 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that there is a short in the sensor circuit, and stores DTC P0117.

The ECM compares the engine coolant temperature when the warmed engine is stopped and when the engine is started on the next trip when more than 5 hours has elapsed since the engine was stopped. If the change in engine coolant temperature sensor output is less than the threshold, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred in the engine coolant temperature sensor. When this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the MIL is illuminated and the DTC is stored.

The engine has two temperature sensors, an engine coolant temperature sensor and an intake air temperature sensor, to detect the temperature while the engine is operating. A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the temperature, is built into each sensor. When the temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes. Based on these temperature signals output from the sensors, the ECM determines the fuel injection duration and the ignition timing to control the engine.

  1. Waiting is required to prevent the temperature of the engine from affecting the readings. If the engine has been operated recently, it will not be possible to accurately compare the readings.
  2. For diagnosis, in order to duplicate the detection conditions of the DTC, it is necessary to park the vehicle for 7 hours. Parking the vehicle for 7 hours ensures that the actual temperature of the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature are very similar. When the vehicle has been parked for less than 7 hours, differences in the readings may exist, this does not necessarily indicate a fault.

The ECM monitors the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature when the engine is started cold to detect the engine temperature conditions accurately. The monitor runs when the engine started cold after 7 hours or more has elapsed since the engine was stopped (power switch turned off) on the previous trip. If the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature on a cold start exceeds 20°C (36°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit and intake air temperature sensor circuit, and stores the DTC.

  1. These DTCs relate to the throttle position sensor.

The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body assembly, and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is a non-contact type. It uses Hall-effect elements in order to yield accurate signals even in extreme conditions.

The throttle position sensor has 2 sensor circuits, each of which transmits a signal, VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle valve angle and VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. The sensor signal voltages vary between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the throttle valve opening angle, and are transmitted to the VTA terminals of the ECM.

As the valve closes, the sensor output voltage decreases and as the valve opens, the sensor output voltage increases. The ECM calculates the throttle valve opening angle according to these signals and controls the throttle actuator in response to driver inputs. These signals are also used in calculations such as air fuel ratio correction, power enrichment correction and fuel-cut control.

The ECM uses the throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle. There are several checks that the ECM performs to confirm the proper operation of the throttle position sensor.

P0120, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223 and P2135

  1. A specific voltage difference is expected between the sensor terminals, VTA1 and VTA2, for each throttle valve opening angle. If the difference between VTA1 and VTA2 is incorrect, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, and stores a DTC.
  1. VTA1 and VTA2 each have a specific voltage range. If VTA1 or VTA2 is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, and stores a DTC.
  1. VTA1 and VTA2 should never be close to the same voltage level. If VTA1 is within 0.02 V of VTA2, the ECM determines that there is a short circuit in the sensor circuit, and stores a DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

P0121

This sensor transmits two signals: VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle opening angle and VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. The ECM performs several checks to confirm the proper operation of the throttle position sensor and VTA1.

For each throttle opening angle, a specific voltage difference is expected between the outputs of VTA1 and VTA2. If the output voltage difference between the two signals deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the throttle position sensor. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is stored 2 seconds after the engine is next started.

FAIL-SAFE

When any of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) malfunctions, are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 5.5° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM stops the engine and the vehicle can be driven using solely the hybrid system. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.

Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the power switch is then turned off.

P0125Engine coolant temperature does not reach closed-loop enabling temperature for 20 minutes (this period varies with engine start engine coolant temperature) (2 trip detection logic)Cooling system Engine coolant temperature sensor Water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly

The resistance of the engine coolant temperature sensor varies in proportion to the actual engine coolant temperature. The ECM supplies a constant voltage to the sensor and monitors the signal output voltage of the sensor. The signal output voltage varies according to the changing resistance of the sensor. After the engine is started, the engine coolant temperature is monitored through this signal. If the engine coolant temperature sensor indicates that the engine is not yet warm enough for closed-loop fuel control, despite a specified period of time having elapsed since the engine was started, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and stores the DTC.

Example

The engine coolant temperature is 5°C (41°F) at engine start. After about 90 seconds running time, the engine coolant temperature sensor still indicates that the engine is not warm enough to begin closed-loop fuel (air fuel ratio feedback) control. The ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and stores the DTC.

Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far from the engine assembly.

In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a three-way catalytic converter is used. 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 level. For the purpose of helping the ECM to deliver accurate air fuel ratio control, a heated oxygen sensor is used.

The heated oxygen sensor is located behind the three-way catalytic converter, and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. Since the sensor is integrated with the heater that heats the sensing portion, it is possible to detect the oxygen concentration even when the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low).

When the air fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is rich. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-three-way catalytic converter air fuel ratio is lean (low voltage, i.e. below 0.45 V).

Conversely, when the air fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air fuel level, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas becomes lean. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-three-way catalytic converter air fuel ratio is rich (high voltage, i.e. higher than 0.45 V). The heated oxygen sensor has the property of changing its output voltage drastically when the air fuel ratio is close to the stoichiometric level.

The ECM uses the supplementary information from the heated oxygen sensor to determine whether the air fuel ratio after the three-way catalytic converter is rich or lean, and adjusts the fuel injection time accordingly. Thus, if the heated oxygen sensor is working improperly due to internal malfunctions, the ECM is unable to compensate for deviations in the primary air fuel ratio control.

  1. Active Air Fuel Ratio Control The ECM usually performs air fuel ratio feedback control so that the air fuel ratio sensor output indicates a near stoichiometric air fuel level. This vehicle includes active air fuel ratio control in addition to regular air fuel ratio control. The ECM performs active air fuel ratio control to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter and heated oxygen sensor malfunctions (refer to the diagram below). Active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds or more while driving with a warm engine. During active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become lean or rich by the ECM. If the ECM detects a malfunction, a DTC is stored.
  2. Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTC P0136) While the ECM is performing active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become rich or lean. If the sensor is not functioning properly, the voltage output variation is small. For example, when the heated oxygen sensor voltage does not increase to higher than 0.59 V during active air fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormal and stores DTCs P0136.
  3. Open or Short in Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit (DTC P0137) During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity* of the three-way catalytic converter by forcibly regulating the air fuel ratio to become rich or lean. If the heated oxygen sensor has an open, or the voltage output of the sensor noticeably decreases, the oxygen storage capacity indicates an extraordinarily high value. Even if the ECM attempts to continue regulating the air fuel ratio to become rich or lean, the heated oxygen sensor output does not change. While performing active air fuel ratio control, when the target air fuel ratio is rich and the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is below 0.21 V (lean), the ECM interprets this as an abnormally low sensor output voltage and stores DTC P0137. *: The three-way catalytic converter has the capability to store oxygen. The oxygen storage capacity and the emission purification capacity of the three-way catalytic converter are mutually related. The ECM determines whether the catalyst has deteriorated, based on the calculated oxygen storage capacity value. Refer to «DTC P0420: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)»(/toyota/prius-v/i-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostic-codes) .
  4. High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P0136 or P0137) During normal air fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the heated oxygen sensor signal while the engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range. *: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical circuit. HINT: The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter. DTC P0136 indicates the deterioration of the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM stores the DTCs by calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (2 driving cycles). DTC P0137 indicates an open or short circuit in the heated oxygen sensor (2 driving cycles). The ECM stores the DTCs when the impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold of 15 kohms.
  5. Extremely High Output Voltage of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTC P0138) The ECM continuously monitors the heated oxygen sensor output voltage while the engine is running. DTC P0138 is stored if the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is 1.2 V or higher for 10 seconds or more.
  6. Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor During Fuel-cut (DTC P0139) The sensor output voltage drops to below 0.2 V (extremely lean status) immediately when the vehicle decelerates and fuel cut is operating. If the voltage does not drop to below 0.2 V for 6 seconds or more, or the voltage does not drop from 0.35 to 0.2 V for 1 second or more, the ECM determines that the sensor response has deteriorated, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

P014CThe "Rich to Lean response rate deterioration level*" value is standard or less (2 trip detection logic).Air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) Air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) heater ECM
P014DThe "Lean to Rich response rate deterioration level*" value is standard or more (2 trip detection logic).
P015AThe "Rich to Lean delay level*" value is standard or more (2 trip detection logic).
P015BThe "Lean to Rich delay level*" value is standard or more (2 trip detection logic).

*: Calculated by ECM based on the air fuel ratio sensor output.

After the engine has been warmed up, the ECM carries out air-fuel ratio feedback control, and maintains the air-fuel ratio at the theoretical level. In addition, after all the preconditions have been met, active air-fuel ratio control is carried out for approximately 10 seconds and during active air-fuel ratio control, the ECM measures the response of the air-fuel ratio sensor by increasing or decreasing a specific injection quantity based on the theoretical air-fuel ratio learned during normal air-fuel control. The ECM determines whether there is an air-fuel ratio sensor malfunction at the mid-point of active air-fuel ratio control.

If the air-fuel ratio sensor's response ability is reduced, DTC P014C and P014D are output.

If the air-fuel ratio sensor output timing is delayed, DTC P015A and P015B are output.

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 trim.

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 it is 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 trim are lean or rich beyond predetermined values, it is interpreted as a malfunction, and the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

HINT

  1. 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.
  2. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air fuel ratio is lean and DTC P0171 may be stored. The MIL is then illuminated.
  3. 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.

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 ECM's estimated fuel injection volumes also affect the average fuel trim learning value, which is a combination of the average short-term fuel trim (fuel feedback compensation value) and the average long-term fuel trim (learning value of the air fuel ratio). If the average fuel trim learning value exceeds the malfunction thresholds, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the fuel system and stores a DTC.

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. High HC concentration levels can cause an increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely high concentrations of HC can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter temperature, which may cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire rate. When the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter reaches the point of thermal degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor and the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds. If the misfire count exceeds the threshold levels, and could cause emission control system performance deterioration, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0300When one of following conditions below is detected (2 trip detection logic): High temperature misfire occurs in three-way catalytic converter (MIL blinks) Emission deterioration misfire occurs (MIL illuminates) Simultaneous misfiring of several cylinders occursOpen or short in engine wire harness Connector connection Vacuum hose connections Ignition system Fuel injector assembly Fuel pressure Mass air flow meter sub-assembly Engine coolant temperature sensor Compression pressure Valve timing PCV valve and hose PCV hose connections Intake system EGR valve assembly ECM

When DTCs for misfiring cylinders are randomly stored, but DTC P0300 is not stored, it indicates that misfires have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only stored when several misfiring cylinders are detected at the same time.

The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission control system performance deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

  1. Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
  2. An excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.

The ECM flashes the MIL and stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause the three-way catalytic converter damage, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

HINT

If a catalyst damage misfire occurs, the monitor informs the driver by blinking the MIL (1 trip).

  1. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a high engine speed, the threshold misfiring percentage is recorded once.
  2. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a normal engine speed, the threshold misfiring percentage is recorded 3 times.

HINT

  1. If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
  3. If the misfire does not recur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, reproduce the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data.
  4. If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data have been reproduced, one of the following factors is considered to be a possible cause of the problem: There was insufficient fuel in the tank. Improper fuel is used. The spark plugs have been contaminated. The problem requires further diagnosis.
  5. After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count.
  6. Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are stored again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.
  7. When one of Short FT #1or Long FT #1 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-20%, the air fuel ratio may be Rich (-20% or less) or Lean (+20% or more).
  8. When the Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is below 75°C (167°F), the misfire has occurred only while warming up the engine.
  9. An extremely imbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs detection.

A flat type knock control sensor is used. Flat type knock control sensors (non-resonant type) have a structure that can detect vibrations over a wide band of frequencies: between approximately 6 kHz and 15 kHz.

Knock control sensors are fitted onto the engine block to detect engine knocking.

The knock control sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed.

The voltage is generated when the engine block vibrates due to knocking. Occurrence of engine knocking can be suppressed by delaying the ignition timing.

DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0327Output voltage of knock control sensor below 0.5 V for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic).Short in knock control sensor circuit Knock control sensor ECM
P0328Output voltage of knock control sensor higher than 4.5 V for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic).Open in knock control sensor circuit Knock control sensor ECM

HINT

When either DTC P0327 or P0328 is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is delayed to its maximum retardation. Fail-safe mode continues until the power switch is turned off.

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate and a pickup coil.

The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper wire, an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes by the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals per engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine speed. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition timing are controlled.

The camshaft position sensor (G2 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).

The camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MR element, which affects the magnet. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, and uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, which it sends to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing.

  1. These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
  2. If DTC P0351 is output, check the No. 1 ignition coil assembly circuit.
  3. If DTC P0352 is output, check the No. 2 ignition coil assembly circuit.
  4. If DTC P0353 is output, check the No. 3 ignition coil assembly circuit.
  5. If DTC P0354 is output, check the No. 4 ignition coil assembly circuit.

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.

The DIS is an ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by it's own ignition coil assembly and spark plug. The secondary wiring of each ignition coil generates a powerful voltage which is applied directly to each spark plug. The spark passes from the center electrode of the spark plug to the ground electrode.

The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (IGT) signals to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation (IGF) signal to the ECM, for each cylinder ignition.

Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to the engine's combustion chambers and thus lowers the combustion temperature to reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, coolant temperature, electric load, and vehicle speed. When the EGR permission conditions are fulfilled, the ECM controls the opening of the EGR valve linearly through signals to the EGR step motor.

The ECM uses sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way catalytic converter to monitor its efficiency.

The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.

In order to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control.

The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 25 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the cycle of the waveform for the heated oxygen sensor is long, the oxygen storage capacity is great. There is a direct correlation between the heated oxygen sensor and the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter.

The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three-way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, it illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

This system determines the deterioration of the entire catalyst system (including the front and rear catalysts), by using the oxygen storage capacity value of the front catalyst, that is more sensitive than the rear catalyst, as the representative value. Therefore, be sure to replace the front and rear catalysts together when catalyst replacement is necessary.

HINT

The reference orifice is located inside the canister pump module.

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

5 hours*1 after the power switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT

*1: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the power switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the power switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

SequenceOperationDescriptionDuration
ECM activationActivated by soak timer, 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after power switch turned off.
AAtmospheric pressure measurementVent valve is turned off (vent) and EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure. If pressure in EVAP system is not between 70 kPa (abs) and 111 kPa (abs) [525 mmHg (abs) and 833 mmHg (abs)], ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.60 seconds
BFirst reference pressure measurementIn order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally.360 seconds
CEVAP system pressure measurementVent valve is turned on (closed) to shut EVAP system. Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure is then measured. Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.15 minutes*2
DPurge VSV monitorPurge VSV is opened and then EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normal.10 seconds
ESecond reference pressure measurementAfter second reference pressure measurement, leak check is performed by comparing first and second reference pressure measurements. If stabilized system pressure is higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system is leaking.60 seconds
Final checkAtmospheric pressure is measured and then monitoring result is recorded by ECM.

*2: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

The leak detection pump creates negative pressure through the reference orifice (in operation B and E). When the system is normal, the EVAP pressure is 97 to 100 kPa (abs) [728 to 750 mmHg (abs)]* and saturated within a minute. If not, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The ECM illuminate the MIL and stores a DTC if this malfunction is detected in consecutive drive cycles.

Refer to EVAP System. Refer to MONITOR RESULT .

Note. The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 6 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 24 minutes. Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable. Do not run the engine during this operation. When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure). Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/toyota/prius-v/i-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) .
  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds.
  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.
  7. After the "Evaporative System Check" is completed, check for All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All readiness.
  8. Input the DTC: P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 or P2419.
  9. Check the DTC judgment result. Techstream Display Description NORMAL DTC judgment completed System normal ABNORMAL DTC judgment completed System abnormal INCOMPLETE DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions N/A Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU's memory limit HINT: If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
  10. If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(/toyota/prius-v/i-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-diagnostics-introduction__dtc-check-clear) . HINT: If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning. If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
