MONITOR DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from 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.
Whether malfunctions occur on the port injection side or direct injection side cannot be determined solely by the output DTCs. Inspect every suspected area even if it is not related to the DTCs.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
