Diagnostic procedure
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
• Misfire

• Front HO2S heater malfunction
• Pressure regulator malfunction
• Fuel pump malfunction
• Fuel filter clogged or restricted
• Fuel leakage on fuel line from fuel delivery pipe and fuel pump
• Fuel return hose clogged
• Leakage exhaust system
• Purge solenoid valve malfunction
• Purge solenoid hoses improper connection

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
• Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE.
(See F66 DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE.)
• Is same DTC present?
Yes Go to next step.
No Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT
CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING procedure.
(See F227 INTERMITTENT CONCERN
TROUBLESHOOTING.)
2 VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR
STORED DTCS
• Turn ignition key to OFF, then ON (Engine
OFF).
• Verify related PENDING CODE or stored
DTCs.
• Is other DTCs present?
Yes If misfire DTC is present, go to step 7.
If other DTC is present, go to appropriate DTC
troubleshooting procedures.
(See F67 DTC TABLE.)
No If drive ability concern is present, go to Step 7.
If not, go to next step.
3 IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME
DATA
• Is DTC P0171 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes Go to next step.
No Go to troubleshooting procedures for DTC on FREEZE
FRAME DATA.
4 VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS
(IGNITION KEY TO ON/IDLE)
• Access ECT, MAF, TP and VSS PIDs using
WDS or equivalent.
(See F45 PCM INSPECTION.)
• Is there any signal that is far out of
specification when ignition key is ON and
engine runs?
Yes Inspect suspected sensor and excessive resistance in
related wiring harnesses. Repair or replace if necessary.
Then go to Step 18.
No Go to next step.
5 VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS
UNDER TROUBLE CONDITION
• Inspect same PIDs as Step 4 while simulating
FREEZE FRAME DATA condition.
• Is there any input signal which causes drastic
changes?
Yes Inspect suspected sensor and related wiring harnesses,
and repair or replace it. Then go to Step 18.
No Go to next step.
6 VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS OF
FRONT HO2S
• Access O2S11 for P0171 PID using WDS or
equivalent.
• Check PID under following accelerator pedal
condition (in PARK (ATX) or NEUTRAL
(MTX)).
• Is PID reading okay?
 Above 0.55 V when accelerator pedal is
suddenly depressed (rich condition).
 Below 0.55 V just after release of
accelerator pedal (lean condition)
Yes Inspect for air suction at followings due to cracks, damages
and loosening parts:
• From air cleaner to throttle body
• From throttle body to dynamic chamber
• From dynamic chamber to intake manifold
• Vacuum hoses
Note
• Engine speed may change when rust penetrating
agent is sprayed on the air suction area.
Repair or replace any faulty part, then go to Step 18.
No Visually inspect for any gas leakage between exhaust
manifold and front HO2S.
• If there is no leakage, replace FRONT HO2S.
Then go to Step 18.
