On Board Diagnosis Logic

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the Air/Fuel Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control, the actual mixture ratio can be brought closely to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio feedback signal from the A/F sensors 1. The ECM calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the actual and the theoretical ratios.

In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (The actual mixture ratio is too rich.), the ECM judges the condition as the fuel injection system malfunction and lights up the MIL (2 trip detection logic).

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name DTC detecting condition Possible cause
P0172 0172 (Bank 1) Fuel injection system too rich
  • Fuel injection system does not operate properly.
  • The amount of mixture ratio compensation is too large. (The mixture ratio is too rich.)
  • Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1
  • Fuel injector
  • Exhaust gas leaks
  • Incorrect fuel pressure
  • Mass air flow sensor
P0175 0175 (Bank 2)
