| MONITOR DESCRIPTION Fuel System Air-fuel Ratio Cylinder Imbalance Monitor
The
ECM uses the air fuel ratio sensor and crankshaft position sensor to
monitor the difference in air-fuel ratios between the cylinders caused
by differences in injection volumes between the cylinders, leakage in
the intake or exhaust system, etc. When the
air-fuel ratios of the cylinders are lean or rich with respect to each
other, the ECM determines that a problem is present and stores a DTC. Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method: P219A and/or P219B are stored primarily when a rich side imbalance is detected.
When
the system detects a difference in air-fuel ratios between the
cylinders due to fluctuation in the air fuel ratio sensor output over 1
engine cycle (2 crankshaft revolutions), the system determines that
there is a problem. Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method:
P219C, P219D, P219E, P219F, P21A0, P21A1, P21A2 and/or P21A3 are stored
primarily when a lean side imbalance is detected. The
system monitors the engine speed variation and when the variation
becomes large, the system determines that there is a difference in
air-fuel ratios between the cylinders, which it determines to be a
problem. MONITOR STRATEGY |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and
driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is
stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if
the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or
not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the
time the malfunction occurred.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
- *: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
- When any air-fuel ratio imbalance is detected, the ECM will perform
air-fuel ratio feedback control to make the air-fuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric level. This may result in an air-fuel ratio imbalance of
normal cylinders and DTCs may be stored.
