P1172


Short Term Fuel Trim. Min Value, Air/Fuel too Rich.


Fault symptoms


Engine may stop straight after starting, run unevenly and misfire.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.


Enable criteria:


- Engine running and closed loop active. One multiplicative adaptation has been made. No change in status of brake light switch.


Fault criteria:


- Closed loop below -25%.


Dependents:


- P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0119, P0131, P0132, P0134, P0444, P0445 and P1133.


System reaction to a fault:


- None.


OK report:


- On condition that the fault criteria are not fulfilled during the driving cycle the OK report occurs at ignition off before the engine stalls. Two types of OK reports can be given: Type 1: If a DTC is already stored for the diagnosis and similar operating conditions have occurred (coolant temperature above or below 71°C, engine speed 375 rpm and load 10%). Type 2: If there is no DTC stored for the diagnosis or similar operating conditions have not occurred


Fault handling: (See section Fault handling II, emission-relayed misfiring or fault in fuel system for more information.)


- Type II. CHECK ENGINE does not go on.


Diagnostic help

At some time, the engine fuel requirement has been 25% lower than calculated by the control module using information from the mass air flow sensor.

Fault diagnosis first determines if the pressure sensors indicate about the same value with the ignition ON, as the mass air flow sensor is then compared with the intake air pressure. If the pressure sensors are OK but the mass air flow sensor value is not correct, then air leaks between the compressor and the throttle are checked for first and then the mass air flow sensor is changed.

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:


Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

Short term fuel trim, in %.

Multiplicative Adaptation, unit %

Additive adaptation, unit mg/c.

Purge Adaptation, unit %.

Air mass deviation from calculated, unit %.
