DTC P2178:00

System too rich off idle

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the oxygen concentration using the A/F sensor. If the measured value or calculated value of the oxygen concentration when driving under a load is lower than the threshold value, the PCM determines that the system is too rich.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Engine oil deterioration (High amount of fuel mixed in engine oil)
•  Fuel injector malfunction
•  Air restriction or leakage at intake-air system
•  A/F sensor malfunction
•  Fuel injection pump learned values reset improper
•  Supply pump malfunction
•  PCM malfunction
