DTC P0172:00 [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo]

id0102g4934300

DTC P0172:00

Fuel trim system too rich
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the short fuel trim (SHRTFT) and long fuel trim (LONGFT) values when closed loop fuel control. If the LONGFT and the sum total of these fuel trims or SHRTFT exceed preprogrammed criteria, the PCM determines that the fuel system is too rich.
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.
