P0175

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during open and closed loop. During open loop the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals, without oxygen sensor input. During closed loop, the oxygen sensor inputs are added and used by the PCM to calculate short and long term fuel trim (fuel delivery adjustments). If the oxygen sensors indicate a lean condition, fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If the oxygen sensors indicate a rich condition, fuel trim values will be below 0 percent. Short Term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) voltage signals. Long Term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain Air/Fuel Ratio of 14.7:1. The fuel trim diagnostic will conduct a test to determine if a rich failure actually exists or if excessive vapor from the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister is causing a rich condition. If the PCM detects an excessively rich condition, this DTC will set. If the PCM detects excessive vapor then a pass is logged.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ DTCs P0101, P0103, P0108, P0135, P0137, P0141, P0200, P0300, P0410, P0420, P0430, P0440, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0506, P0507 or P1441 are not set.
^ The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 75-115°C (167-239°F).
^ The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between -20 to 90°C (4-194°F).
^ The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) is between 26-90 kPa (3.7-13 psi).
^ The vehicle speed is less than 137 km/h ( 85 mph).
^ The engine speed is between 400-3,000 RPM.
^ The Barometric Pressure (BARO) is more than 74 kPa (10.7 psi).
^ The Mass Air Flow (MAF) is between 5-90 g/s.
^ The fuel level is more than 10 percent.
^ The Throttle Position (TP) is less than 90 percent

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The average long term fuel trim value is below -13 percent.
^ All of the above conditions are present for 40 seconds.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Fuel contamination, such as water and alcohol will effect fuel trim.
^ A malfunctioning Mass Air Flow sensor can cause a rich condition and set this DTC. Refer to DTC P0101. P0101
^ Using scan tool, review Failure Records. If intermittent condition is suspected, refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-8:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
5. If conditions were not corrected, refer to Fuel System Diagnostic for possible fuel problem. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
6. An EVAP canister that is saturated will cause a rich condition. Fuel in the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator indicates a leaking regulator. If conditions were not corrected, a worn cam, worn intake or exhaust valves or other engine mechanical failure may be at fault.
