DTC P2187:00

Fuel system too lean at idle

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors short term fuel trim (SHRTFT) and long term fuel trim (LONGFT) during closed loop fuel control during idle. If the LONGFT or the sum total of these fuel trims and correction exceed preprogrammed criteria, the PCM determines that fuel system is too lean during idle.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (fuel system).
•  The MIL illuminates if PCM detects the above malfunctioning 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 PCM detects the above malfunction conditions during first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
