DTC P2096:00

Target A/F feedback system too lean

DETECTION CONDITION
• The PCM monitors the target A/F fuel trim when under the target A/F feedback control. If the fuel trim is more than the specification, the PCM determines that the target A/F feedback system is too lean.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (fuel system).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Leakage exhaust gas (between A/F sensor and HO2S)
• HO2S malfunction
• IAT sensor malfunction
• Erratic signal to PCM
― ECT sensor signal malfunction
― MAF sensor signal malfunction
― TP sensor signal malfunction
― VSS signal malfunction
• Leakage exhaust gas (between exhaust manifold and A/F sensor)
• A/F sensor malfunction
• Air suction in intake air system
• MAF sensor malfunction
• Insufficient fuel line pressure
• Leakage fuel
• Fuel pump unit malfunction
• Ignition system malfunction
― Ignition coil related wiring harness malfunction
• Improper operation of fuel injector
