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 %) 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

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.
