DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three-way
catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage* approximately proportional to the existing
air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air-fuel
ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air-fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

HINT:
S After confirming DTC P0125, use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to confirm voltage
output of heated oxygen sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) from CURRENT DATA.
S The ECM controls the voltage of AF and AF terminals of ECM to the fixed voltage. Therefore, it
is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held
tester.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.

DIAGNOSTICS - ENGINE
1 Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0125) being output ?
YES Go to relevant DTC chart.
NO
2 Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester and read value for
voltage output of A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1).
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up the A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) with the engine at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 sec.
CHECK:
Read voltage value of A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) on the screen of OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-
held tester when you perform all the following conditions.
HINT:
The voltage of AFR ,AFL terminal of ECM is 3.3 fixed and the AFR ,AFL terminal is 3.0 V fixed.
Therefore, it is impossible to check the A/F sensor output voltage at the terminals (AFR ,AFL /
AFR ,AFL ) of ECM.
OK:

HINT:
S During fuel enrichment, there is a case that the output voltage of A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) is
below 2.8 V (* 0.56 V), it is normal.
S During fuel cut, there is a case that the output voltage of A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) is above
3.8 V (* 0.76 V), it is normal.
S If output voltage of A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) remains at 3.30 V (* 0.660 V) even after performing
all the above conditions, A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) circuit may be open.
S If output voltage of A/F sensor remains at 3.8 V (* 0.76 V) or more, or 2.8 V (* 0.56 V) or less even after
performing all the above conditions, A/F sensors (bank 1, 2 sensor 1) circuit may be short.
*: When you use the OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester).
