Maintenance tips:
The malfunction has been confirmed, and the
following problems may possibly exist
1) Open circuit between Pin 33# of ECU and Pin 2#
of throttle pedal;
2) Open circuit between Pin 40# of ECU and Pin 6#
of throttle pedal.
Maintenance tips:
The malfunction is not ultimately confirmed and it
may possibly be a random malfunction. Inspect the
following items:
1) Measure resistance between Pin 33# of ECU and
2# Pin of throttle pedal;
2) Measure resistance between Pin 40# of ECU and
Pin 6# of throttle pedal.
123. P2177 Air-Fuel Ratio for Self-Learning Value under Closed-Loop Control
Exceeding Upper Limit (Mid-Load Area)
Description about Principle and Malfunction Cause:
In order to optimize the integrated transformation efficiency of catalytic converter to HC, CO, and NOx, the
air-fuel ratio of the mixed gas shall be controlled at 14.7:1. If it is found the deviation in manufacture of parts,
the sedimentation of colloidal matters in gasoline on the fuel injector, the air intake pipeline, or the back of
valve, and air leakage exists with intake and exhaust system, all these factors will give rise to a deviation from
14.7:1 in the air-fuel ratio to different degrees (rich or lean), which will lead to deteriorated emission and
reduction in engine performance.
The engine control system is able to make amendments and self-learning on fuel injection volume according
to the degree and characteristic of deviation in air-fuel ratio. The self-learning of deviation in air-fuel ratio is
divided into “Self-learning in Small Load Area” and “Self-learning in Medium Load Area”. The system will
determine it to be the malfunction of lean mixed gas, when self-learning in medium load area reaches the
upper limit value set by the system (lean mixed gas, and the system continuously increasing the fuel injection
volume up to the maximum value).

Maintenance tips:
The malfunction has been confirmed, and the
following problems may possibly exist
1) Fuel injector blocked and cleaning required
2) Air leakage with intake and exhaust system
3) Excessive sedimentation of colloidal matter in
air intake pipeline or on the back of intake valve
and cleaning required
4) Deviation in parts of engine
Maintenance tips:
The malfunction has not been finally confirmed.
Please wait for system to fulfill diagnosis.
