P1181
Read the instructions below then
start the fault diagnostic procedure.
Symptom: CHECK ENGINE goes on after two driving cycles.
The engine may stop after starting, run unevenly and misfire, or idle speed too fast.
Long Term Fuel Trim Additive. Max Value, Air/Fuel too Lean.

CHECK ENGINE goes on after two driving cycles.
|
|
•
|
The engine may stop after starting, run unevenly and misfire, or idle speed too fast.
|
Conditions
The following conditions apply for this DTC:
|
•
|
Engine running and closed loop active.
|
|
•
|
Additive adaptation exceeding 10 mg/c for longer than 30 s.
|
|
Note
|
|
The condition for additive adaptation is that one multiplicative adaptation must first have been carried out during the current driving cycle.
|
|
Note
|
|
P1171, P0171 and P1181 can be generated if the input to the oxygen sensor is short circuited to ground as there is no diagnostic trouble code for it.

Diagnostic help
At idling speed, the engine fuel requirement has been 25% greater than calculated by the control module using information from the mass air flow sensor.
Fault diagnosis first determines whether the pressure sensors show about the same value with the ignition ON, as the mass air flow sensor is later compared with the intake air pressure. If the pressure sensors are OK but the mass air flow sensor is incorrect then check for air leaks after the throttle and thereafter, change the mass air flow sensor.
If the air quantity is OK, then the fuel supply is checked, i.e. pressure, response, pump flow and finally the injectors.
Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
|
•
|
Additive Adaptation, unit mg/c.
|
|
•
|
Purge Adaptation, unit %.
|
|
•
|
Air mass deviation from calculated, unit %.

Checking the wiring
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
