P1169 1996 HONDA CIVIC Meaning

The Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 is installed in the exhaust system and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases. The A/F sensor sends the output voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM). A heater for the sensor element is built into the A/F sensor (Sensor 1). It is activated and heats the sensor to stabilize and speed up the detection of oxygen concentration by controlling the current flowing through the heater. An increase in current stabilizes when the voltage applied to the element electrode reaches a certain range because the amount of oxygen that is channeled through the diffusion layer is limited. The current amperage is proportional to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases, so the air/fuel ratio is detected by measuring the current amperage. The ECM compares a set target air/fuel ratio with the detected air/fuel ratio and controls the fuel injection timing.
If the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) voltage is low, the air/fuel ratio is lean and the ECM uses A/F feedback control to issue a Rich command. If the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) voltage is high, the air/fuel ratio is rich and the ECM uses A/F feedback control to issue a Lean command.

  5. Check the fuel pressure using a diagnostic tool to see if it is within the recommended values.

Possible Symptoms

  • Illumination of the engine light (or maintenance light).

Meaning of Code P1169

The Complete Component Monitor (CCM) monitors the fuel rail pressure (FRP) to ensure it remains within an acceptable range. The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects fuel pressure that is too high compared to the expected operating conditions. The test fails when the fuel pressure exceeds or falls below a calibrated value for a specified period.
