P.13A-5

(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0171 set?

YES : Replace the ECM or PCM. Then go to Step 14.
NO : The inspection is complete.

STEP 14. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

Diagnostic Function

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 2 −

Fuel Trim Monitor

P.13A-5

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0171 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

DTC P0172: System too Rich

System too Rich Circuit

• Refer to, DTC P0201 − P0204 Injector Circuit

Malfunction

P.13A-377

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Refer to, DTC P0201 − P0204 Injector Circuit

Malfunction

P.13A-377

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• If a malfunction occurs in the fuel system, the fuel

trim value becomes too small.

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> checks whether

the fuel trim value is within a specified range.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Air/fuel learning value (long term fuel trim) and

air/fuel feedback integral value (short term fuel
trim) are too rich.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Volume airflow sensor failed.

• Injector failed.

• Incorrect fuel pressure.

• Engine coolant temperature sensor failed.

• Intake air temperature sensor failed.

• Barometric pressure sensor failed.

• ECM failed. <M/T>

• PCM failed. <A/T>

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 12:
Volume Airflow Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

12, Volume Airflow Sensor.

(4) Warm-up the engine to normal operating temperature: 80

°C

to 96

°C (176°F to 205°F).

• When idling, between 12 and 38 Hz (between 1.7 and

4.2 g/s).

• When 2,500 r/min, between 55 and 95 Hz (between 7.9

and 12.1 g/s).

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to, DTC P0101

− Volume Airflow Circuit
