ECM


Comes on DTC stored SAE Code: P2A00

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the engine is warmed up, the ECM performs air fuel ratio feedback control to maintain the air fuel ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds after preconditions are met in order to measure the air fuel ratio sensor response rate. During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM forcibly increases and decreases the injection volume by a certain amount, based on the stoichiometric air fuel ratio learned during normal air fuel ratio control, and measures the air fuel ratio sensor response rate. The ECM receives a signal from the air fuel ratio sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control and uses it to calculate the air fuel ratio sensor response rate deterioration level.

If the value for the air fuel ratio sensor response rate deterioration level is less than the threshold, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and stores this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:
·

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

Click hereEngine / Hybrid System>8ZR-FXE (ENGINE CONTROL)>SFI SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR

·

If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

·

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.



HINT:
·

DTC P2A0026 may be also stored when the air fuel ratio is stuck at rich or lean.

·

A low air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.

·

A high air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.

·

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

·

Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.

·

Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.

HINT:
·

The Active Test [Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor] can be used to lower the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 12.5%.

·

The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

·

If the sensor output voltage does not change (almost no reaction) while performing the Active Test, the sensor may be malfunctioning.
