Toyota Corolla Matrix Complete Report Manual
Formerly called the Matrix, Toyota has renamed this tall, stylish wagon the Corolla Matrix. It uses well-proven Corolla components, including the drivetrain and platform, but it differs most from the Corolla by having an optional all-wheel- drive system with automatic slip sensing and torque redistribution, a system available only with the 123-horsepower base engine. The optional 170-hp engine makes the front-wheel-drive Corolla Matrix more sporty, but the AWD model could benefit from a bigger motor. Split folding rear seatbacks (the right-rear and front-passenger seatbacks fold forward to handle long items) add to this wagon’s practicality. The Corolla Matrix is well designed and flawlessly built. For 2005: There are modest cosmetic and interior changes, stability control is optional on base and XR models, and curtain airbags are optional.

2002 Toyota Tacoma System too Lean (Fuel Trim) Engine Diagnostics
Fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection time. Fuel trim includes short–term fuel trim and long–term fuel trim. Short–term fuel trim is the short–term fuel compensation used to maintain the air–fuel ratio at its ideal theoretical value. The signal from the A/F sensor is approximately proportional to the existing air–fuel ratio, and ECM compares it with the ideal theoretical value, the ECM reduces fuel volume immediately if the air–fuel ratio is RICH and increases fuel volume if it is LEAN. Long–term fuel trim compensates for the deviation from the central value of the short–term fuel trim stored by each engine tolerance, and the deviation from the central value due to the passage of time and changes of environment. If both the short–term fuel trim and long–term fuel trim exceed a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction and the MIL lights up.
